Wow, the fall promotion was worth waiting for. Take ten trips by 12/14 (limit 2 per day), and you get double points on each trip plus 10,000 bonus points.
That's what I'm hearing from Amtrak customer support as well.Still have to spend 40 each way to get double points.
Not according to the AGR website. When you click the link to register it actually shows it as a two-part promotion. Part 1 is the '10 trips for 10K' part with the $40/trip requirement and Part 2 is 'Double points for ALL Amtrak travel'That's what I'm hearing from Amtrak customer support as well.Still have to spend 40 each way to get double points.
Both the website and the email are vague on this matter and it could be interpreted either way. That's why I called AGR before I responded to the other poster. According to what I was told, AGR considers the $40 minimum spend to be a requirement of both offers. I made it very clear exactly what I was asking, so I'm assuming I received an accurate answer.Not according to the AGR website.

Now, the question I have for my fellow AU members is in regards to stacking. If I buy a ticket from SAS to SND and another from SND to ELP on the same day, am I able to then count that as two one-way trips for purposes of the 10,000 points so long as they were on separate ticket stock?Must be an Amtrak Guest Rewards member and register for this offer online or by calling 1-800-307-5000 to participate.

You could book train #1 SAS-SND and #421 SND-ELP and it should come up on the system as two separate trips. However, it looks like Amtrak has blocked out all seats and accommodations on 421 (local travel) except for the highest bucket, e.g. SND-ELP is $100 on every train 421 (even testing May 2011) while on train 1 it is $51 even on trains later this month.IF they are not on the same train #, then yes.Now, the question I have for my fellow AU members is in regards to stacking.

But in the case of the Sunset, you er, might be out of luck.....I think that's only a one train per day, EVERY OTHER day.
