New redemption options are always a good thing, but rather than a glorified subway, I really wish some deal could be worked out with VIA. I REALLY want to ride the Canadian but am too cheap to pay for it.......maybe someday....

What's the price for a bedroom/roomette on Canadian?

The Canadian isn't cheap, but neither is it astronomical. My last few sleeper fares on Amtrak were as much or more than my compartment fare across the full length of the Canadian last year. I happened to get a discounted ticket on the Canadian but even if it were full cost my last Amtrak sleeper ticket would have still cost more. On the other hand, for around the same money as any of those trips I was able to travel on Singapore Airlines to the opposite side of the planet. That being said, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Canadian's schedule were to be cut further or even retired at some point. The train felt rather empty when I rode last year. If you're thinking about going I'd probably try to go sooner rather than later.
 
Toronto to Vancouver near the end of November is around $2500 if you want an upper berth and close to $3000 if you want a "cabin for one".

"Economy super saver" (coach) is just over $1000.

All prices are round-trip.

I would LOVE to ride Via Rail someday, but man it's expensive...

I rode from Toronto to Vancouver last December in a cabin for two when Via was offering express deals. I paid $871 one way and it was certainly worth it.

I might keep my eye out for a deal during a slow period. The trains look downright luxurious, and it would be fun to travel on a different train in a different country. VIA is definitely on my bucket list. :)
 
My next Canadian adventure is going to be the Skeena, perhaps sometime next year. This will likely involve a short leg from Edmonton to Jasper on the Canadian, since it is non-trivial to get to Jssper by air and I don't have the time to do yet another transcon by the slow boat.

Has anyone gotten the 250 AGR points? I sure haven't.

Were you targeted for the survey?

I was, and I have not received the points either. Sometimes stuff like that is really slow with AGR.

I thought it said the points would be given the week of the 24th of October, last week. Guest Rewards must have been overly optimistic with their timeline. I haven't gotten the points either.
 
When I tried to find out I got this instead... :lol:
