I was very saddened to hear about Alan this evening, and it's an understatement to say I'm still shocked. Alan was the lifeblood of the Amtrak Unlimited community since its inception; a good friend; a true advocate for Amtrak and for all those who loved Amtrak. This was far too early for him...

The AGR call center is well positioned to help with issues like this: 1-800-307-5000 Note that the AGR Terms and Conditions state: "Points will be credited to a Member's account up to 3 weeks after the completion of the Member's Amtrak trip." Members with impending point expiration should...

I require nothing -- I don't run this site anymore. But I think what you're asking is why the site asks for a birthdate. It's to comply with COPPA which requires that a member be at least 13 years old to join. So, if you are at least 13 years of age, feel free to give a false birthdate that...

Jim: The policy did not change. I guess it's just a matter of brevity in that particular material you were reading. The anecdote in Chicago just demonstrates an agent that needs some training.

Hello, Nathanael. You pose a valid question, but first, I encourage you to join the community as a Member. You are clearly invested in contributing and you seem to enjoy the camaraderie here, so registration seems like a sensible way to express your commitment to the group and this site...

Bill, glad to see you back and hope things continue to get better for you :) Anthony

Tom, hope you feel better fast! Merry Christmas to you and Sharon. :)

Known problem that is actively being worked on today

The problem is known and being worked on. If you go to the AGR website directly in the Android browser, you should have better results until it is fixed. :)

The bar is open seating -- a nice way to jump in and out without waiting too long (well, unless you order a deep dish pizza, as previously noted ;) )

Train 50 is so frequently late that I would not even bother giving this a second thought.

AGR Insider is at the top of the chain at Amtrak's headquarters - it is perfectly safe.

First class accom charge on Acela, WAS-BOS = $130 First class accom charge on Acela, WAS-NYP ($116) + NYP-BOS ($83) = $199 Not quite double, sure, but more nonetheless.

Accommodation charges are always point to point, and don't quite work the same as a through rail fare. Amtrak generally charges more if you break up your occupancy of an accommodation over two trains as opposed to staying on the same train for the entire distance, reflecting what the market...

It could be some quirk about my downgraded account.

If you do this, remember to note your track number when you leave the train -- for northbound long-distance trains like the Crescent, it will not be posted on the board as DC doesn't accept boarding passengers. You'll have to go through the large double doors by the women's restroom and walk...

Sit on the right side of the train going to Philly, or the left side going south to DC, for a nice view of the riverfront when entering Wilmington. Sit on the opposite side for a view of the downtown business district.

(hmm, I'm being told that my attachment isn't visible - can you see it?)

no, an upgrade coupon is only valid for a single segment.

United Club members only have access to the four ClubAcelas in the NEC.
