I just want to thank all of y'all that lent me coupons for my dash for Select Plus. By my math, the last Acela leg I'm boarding out of NYP back to WAS (in about 90 minutes; the Meteor was an hour early into Penn) is going to put me "over the top" (with a couple hundred points to spare...I think I'm going to end up with just under 10,500 when all is said and done). So a very profuse thanks to all of y'all that made this possible.
 
Happy New Year to All AU Members. My travel plans for January and February will more than likely not include any Amtrak travel. With this in mind, I have available (1) One-Class Upgrade Coupon (Cold, Rain, and Snow was the original owner) and (3) Club Acela Pass/10% Amtrak discount (one pass per member). PM me if you would like to become a owner of one. First come, first served.

Just a reminder per The_Traveler: The coupons do have the member's name and AGR number printed on them, but they are fully transferable for FREE - they just can't be sold! So they must be a gift ONLY!

The upgrade coupon was snatched quickly. Club Acela passes still available.

When do they have to be used by?
 
Oh stupid me. I see they need to be used by the end of Feb. I would be interested in one of the club acela passes.
 
I have a One-Class Upgrade Coupon and a Companion Coupon, each of which will expire on 2/29/12. Please PM me if you would like either one. I will give preference to anyone attending the Florida mini-gathering so I can hand deliver the coupon(s).

Edit to update: unless a FL mini gathering participant PM's me in the next day or so, the Upgrade Coupon has been taken. I still have the Companion Coupon.

Since the fine folks at RVR forgot to ask for my upgrade coupons a few weeks ago, I've got a spare. I'm going to go ahead and offer a one-class coupon. PM me to request it.
 
Making it official now - I have 3 upgrade coupons and 3 2 Lounge passes available (sadly, I don't see myself taking even a day trip to CHI before the end of next month). And just a note - I won't be back on this board till at least 5pm Central to check my PMs, so don't panic at a lack of immediate response. :)

EDIT: I think I might be making a Michigan Great Dome run this week. While timing doesn't give me new coverage on the Wolverine, it will add the Blue Water to my list of partially traversed routes, and give me a few hours to mess around in CHI in general.

EDIT X 2: Removing this offer for the moment because I don't know what I ended up doing with the coupons :/

Hello All!

I made Select over my December travels, and lo and behold got the Select packet today. Unfortunately due to financial constraints I have no Amtrak travel between now and the 2/29/12 Expiration date, so I have 3 CA/10% coupons and 3 12 hr 1 class upgrade coupons up for grabs! PM me with your address, and I'll get them out to you as soon as possible!

Thanks,

~ DCTE

I have 3 "One Class Upgrade Coupon" and 3 "Single Day Pass to Club Acela or 10% Discount" passes. All my trips were in sleepers this past year and I didn't need these.

All expire 2/29/12.

The upgrade coupons can be used only within 12 hours of departure and only on certain trains which I assume most people reading this will know which trains they are accepted but if not just ask me.

All have my name on them but I believe I am allowed to give them away for free to others. Please contact me if you could use any, please only take them if you are going to actually use them. I will reply to your PM and let you know depending on how many respond. I may not be able to reply to your PM until tommorrow.

I'm moving this and merging it with the main thread of coupons too give away.

Maybe it's just me, but I think a lot of people don't see the updates to the threads that are pinned at the top and look for new threads in the list which is why I posted as a seperate thread originally.

In any case, I still have 3 upgrade coupons and 2 Club Acela passes to give away. In the past the upgrade coupons went within hours and its been days with no responses so I thought maybe its due to no one reading this pinned thread.

I'm an AGR member but don't have any status. Are these Acela Express upgrades or NER upgrades?

As long as the seating is available, any route that has more than coach seating! Example: If I wanted to, I could use the coupon on a Lincoln Service or Missouri River Runner upgrade.

I guess I need to ask my question more directly. Can one use one of these upgrades on the Acela to go from BC to FC? If so, I'd be interested and would likely be able to use this before 2/29/12.

Yes, the coupon is good for a free upgrade from BC to FC on Acela provided that one books the Acela with no discounts. No AAA, no NARP, no Senior discounts are allowed.

You can book your reservation at any time in an effort to get the lowest possible bucket, then call up Amtrak (not AGR) within the 12 or 48 hour time limit depending on which type of coupon you have for the free upgrade. After arriving at the station you hand over the coupon and your reservation number (easier if you bring the barcoded confirmation, to obtain the ticket. You need one coupon per person, per leg. In other words, the coupon is not valid for a round trip, you'd need two coupons to do a RT.

The coupons also work for any coach to BC upgrade on any service that offers BC. The coupon is NOT valid for a free upgrade to a sleeper however.
 
Looks like I'll have 1 or 2 companion coupons that I won't need. PM if you need one. Just remember that Feb 17 and 20 are blacked out.
