AGR Reaches 20 Million Members

An Amtrak news release. Honestly, not sure where 20 million comes from but this is the claim. Guessing that's cumulative through the history.

I'm not an evangelist and I don't go around saving souls, but I do use my AGR Mastercard a lot at (e.g.) farmers' markets and bakeries, and staff are sometimes intrigued to see a travel card that earns something besides airline miles. And they always say they love trains. Have I recruited a few new cardholders? I dunno.

(Yes, I know the 20 million statistic is for AGR and not for the credit card; but they're intertwined.)
