Those $11 R/T fares from Harrisburg to Elizabethtown which netted 250 points and 450 during Double Days added up quickly over a two year period and enabled us to book two two zone awards in a roomette this past June using the longest way possible to experience the great scenery, get meals included and enjoy nice amenities like admission to the Metropolitan Lounges and ride in The Pacific Parlour Car on the Coast Starlight. That is why I've taken many "point runs" on that route,plus others that had comparable fares.Obviously I don't see much of the country on a 20 minute ride,but I was "rewarded" with a two week vacation,half of it on the train using points. With the new AGR rules coming into effect, that scenario will be a thing of the past, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to do point runs, which i have been doing for ten years and using points for other trips over the years.Now, what is wrong with that?
