    Buy Points Bonus-Will There Be One For 2011?

    Thanks traveler, that's what I was thinking just wanted a second opinion. It is easier than you said, just a coach ticket, no room involved.

    Buy Points Bonus-Will There Be One For 2011?

    Slight thread Hijack, but I figured someone on here would know if I am thinking about this correctly. With the 30% bonus it comes out to .0211 cents per point, or a value of $116 for a one zone coach reward, which is cheaper than the $148 I paid for the CZ from GBB to DEN next week. So I...

    Favorite food on Amtrak?

    I'll give my vote for the steak for dinner on the westbound EB, eastbound it was alright but not nearly as good as when we were going the other way, and another vote for the chocolate peanut butter pie, chocolate peanut butter ice cream was pretty good too.

    Empire Builder flood disruptions

    If you miss the Galesburg connection put your money on a white Ford van that rides really rough for 2 1/2 hours. I was on the EB on Apr 30th and we arrived about 2 hrs late missing our connection. It was somewhere just past Milwaukee when they made an announcement onboard explaining what was...

But we went through that area westbound earlier in the week the morning of Apr 24th and there is lots of standing water all over the place in ND...
