double points promotion for spring . . .

[Steve4031]

I vaguely recall that there was a promotion for March and April of Last year. Is this going to happen again this year?

It's the double points leading up to NTD. Starting NTD they offer triple points for two weeks. I'm going to say March 19th.

I hope so! I need some more points!

 

[Acela150]

More points?? They should put a hold on your account that's how many points you rack up! :giggle:

 

[the_traveler]

I'm all the way down to almost 200K. How am I going to survive on so few points? :huh:

:lol: :giggle: :lol:

My son just got what looks like a targeted offer of double points this spring to get him back on a train (he hasn't ridden since last July). I haven't received that email with that promotion so I think it may be targeted. Anyone else?

Double points are offered every spring as a part of NTD. Once NTD comes Triple points are offered. What's the date of the offer starting?? If it's around March 19th then no it's not a targeted offer AGR is starting to offer the Double points to it's members.

Not quite (but almost) true! One year they had 2 for 1 tickets for travel in NTD alone!

I'd bet that it's a targeted offer; Amtrak does that when someone hasn't taken a trip in a while.

Speaking of targeted offers, I wondered if this is one:

I am using up my companion coupons from last year before they expire by taking two 'companion coupon' trips before the end of the month by going on NERs WAS to NYP r/t. I had registerd for the 'Acela Great Escape' offer even though I knew I wasn't going to be able to take advantage of it, but after I booked my NER trips I happened upon a 'Great Escape' offer in 'My Promotions' that will get me a free r/t on the NERs when I take 2 r/ts that have a minimum fare of $49.00 e/w. (what I paid) So now I'm getting a free r/t this summer for my companion trips :excl: I'm certainly not complaining, but I did wonder if this is targeted.

I just got the targeted offer too:

I got the offer. I did not know until I opened my e-mail to get the confirmation for the ticket I just bought.

It has been about 9 months, so I had booked a day trip. I registered for the promotion, so hopefully I get the double points.
