    AGR Credit Card change (October 2022)

    This doesn't bother me much, however I applied (and was approved) for the annual-fee version of the card and it did not ask me anywhere on the application page for my AGR number. I'm hoping it won't be painful to get the card linked to my AGR account.

    Silver Star/Silver Meteor combined train (Jan - Oct 2022)

    I also called and they were not able to help - said no bus is running. EDIT: Guest Rewards was more helpful and they were able to book the bus/train option for 92.

    Silver Star/Silver Meteor combined train (Jan - Oct 2022)

    I just got a cancellation notice for 92 from Orlando next week. It looks like Amtrak isn't running the bus from Orlando to Jacksonville anymore (but strangely, the other direction is still bookable).

    Hurricane Ian 2022 (effects on Amtrak)

    I was also going to ask about this, because it's weirdly worded. Is Amtrak providing a bus to Jacksonville? I'm on 92 departing 10/13. Hopefully it would be cleared up by then, but I just want to know what to expect.

    Silver Star/Silver Meteor combined train (Jan - Oct 2022)

    I appreciate the update. I hadn't seen that - good to know it may be more concrete. And yes of course, hurricane damage is the biggest concern. Hopefully, we'll know about that this weekend.

    Silver Star/Silver Meteor combined train (Jan - Oct 2022)

    Yep, I have a ticket on 10/6 for #97, so hopefully that date holds. I presume Amtrak had notified by this point if the train was going to be pushed back? I can't recall, although I could look back in this thread too.

    Amtrak long term service cancellations and restorations (2022-2023H1)

    Ugh, Meteor still canceled through September. I'm not scheduled to ride on it again until November, but it's getting uncomfortably close to that date already and I really prefer the timekeeping of the Meteor over the Star. Planning a Crescent ride in December, guess I should make sure not to...

    Silver Star/Silver Meteor combined train (Jan - Oct 2022)

    So I still have a return trip on the 98 Meteor on 2/28. I know from a simple booking search that train is no longer running. Was just curious if anyone also had a ticket on the Meteor that hasn't been updated yet. My 2/23 Meteor trip has already been switched to the Star, so I figured my return...

    Silver Star/Silver Meteor combined train (Jan - Oct 2022)

    MODERATOR NOTE: Due to the number of posts pertaining to the Meteor cancellation and Star/Meteor combination, a new thread was created and posts were moved from a couple of threads to this new one (1/20/22). I just got a new ticket for 2/23 on train 91 when I was supposed to be on 97. A...

    Free alcoholic drink included for dinner for sleepers

    Any mixers you may want are free, although I don't remember if they have tonic. Cocktails are included so long as you don't want anything more fancy than a liquor + soda. The liquors are Bacardi rum, Tanqueray gin, Maker's Mark bourbon, Tito's vodka, and I think Jack Daniel's whiskey.

    Crescent Status?

    19/20 are both on time today and are close to the derailment area, so it appears to be reopened.

    Crescent Status?

    Any news about when the route will be open again?

    Crescent Status?

    Looks like both trains are terminating in Atlanta today because of a disabled freight. It caused issues on yesterday's train as well. I am wondering if this will affect multiple days. Update: Amtrak told me a freight derailed, but today's 19 was scheduled on time. So who knows.

    Amtrak Credit Card Bonus Mileage

    I know this is a bit late, but the short answer is yes - as long as you are approved by Bank of America, you are eligible for the bonus. You can get it for as many cards as BoA will approve you.

    Double TQPs 2021

    EDIT: Figured it out, $242 was for 2 people so the posting is correct for my ticket only. I was curious if someone could check my TQP math. I thought it was fairly straightforward given the examples on the AGR website, but the points posted different than I expected. My ticket was $242 on...

    Viewliner II Part 4: Sleeping Car production, delivery, deployment

    Currently riding on 98 in a new car. Quite a surprise when I boarded yesterday, although I'm a semi-frequent rider I don't keep up with news so I was surprised - and not in a good way - to see the toilets were removed from the roommettes. So, ok, fine, we all have to use the bathrooms at the...

    Possible Schedule Change to SB Silver Meteor - train 97

    I'm not so sure I agree with that. I ride between WAS and ORL several times per year, and the Meteor is a really nice ride. I can work all day, leave at night, and arrive at Disney around 1:30 the next day. It's unusual for a hotel to be ready before that anyway, and if it is I can drop my bags...

    New dining options (flex dining) effective October 1, 2019

    I'm currently on 97 and had the chicken fettuccini and it's really not great. It doesn't taste awful, but it's just very bland. It's also a small serving portion compared to what the dining used to be (although that's probably a good thing). I sat at the table and was served, so apparently...

    Extended stop in TX

    I appreciate you spelling it out. That's very helpful.
