Worked it out and only cost me $10......7 yr.old daughter had points in her AGR account so she "shared" with Mom. :cool:

Thanks! Looks like I will just buy the needed points.

I believe I read before (but because of Mom Memory can't remember) but do you "pay" less points when you have the CC? I am looking at booking a roomette and I am 1000 points away from the 20000 needed, so without having to buy any I was just wondering if I had enough with the supposed discount...

If you tip a flat amount, why do we tip more for dinner than we do for the other meals? Do they provide more services as the meals go along? I'm seriously wondering.

Does anyone still have the old zone map that had the cities listed? I'm wondering what is the furthest stop going east from California heading toward NYP for a 2-zone award? I was thinking I could use AGR up to the 2 zone and then pay cash from there. Thanks!

Thanks The_Traveler.

I'm going to Hanford which has checked baggage. The reason I want to check all the way through is the times I've done this trip before the people getting on in Bakersfield are quite pushy getting on the train. I've had them push my children out of the way so they could get on first. I don't want...

Used all my points, but if you decide to just give away...... :D

I will be getting on at an unmanned station so I know I have to put all my luggage on unchecked, but when I get to San Antonio can I check my bags there all the way to my end stop? That way I won't have to deal with transferring them later. Otherwise when I get to LA I will have to carry...

I live in the Central Valley (44 years) and have never heard Bakersfield called this. I guess you learn something new all the time.

We are stopped right now (3:34 pm) at Burlington, Iowa.

We are running around 4 hrs behind.

It's a good thing that I took my purse with me(although I take it for a tip)...had to pay for one of the meals at breakfast. I don't know from one meal to the next if it's going to be for 2 or 3.

Hopefully they signed up for AGR under your link. :)

Well I talked to the server we had for dinner last night ( different one than this morning) and asked him about it. He said its supposed to be just 2 meals, but since they did it yesterday he didn't know why they did this at breakfast. He said he would try to get it cleared up for me. He...

Am currently on the CZ in a roomette with my 2 young daughters. Yesterday for lunch and dinner was given 3 meals. When we went to breakfast this morning was informed quite rudely that we are only allowed 2 meals. I just ordered for my daughters since I don't eat breakfast anyways, I guess we...

Thanks for all the responses. I have booked travel for my daughter using airlines miles, but that was online. I didn't know if it was any different for train travel since you have to call. Have a great day!

Yay! Thanks AlanB. I booked our leg on the EB-CS-bus-SJ(this is actually the 2nd leg) . She will book the first leg on the CZ. We are going to get to see a lot of states we've never seen before.

My daughter would like to use her AGR pts. for one leg of mine and her sisters' trip. Can she do that even if she is not one who will be traveling? I had enough to get one leg with a room for us, but not enough for the second leg. Thanks in advance.

My daughter wanted to buy me pts as a gift, but when she tried it came up: Sorry, the number of Points selected will exceed the maximum allowance for the recipient. Please select another amount. Is there something she is doing wrong. I thought you could gift a person 10,000 a year. No one has...
