Ha they must have seen my post because I just got the email with the offer!
"Earn 5X Points this Holiday Season"
- Thread starter TinCan782
- Start date
Help Support Amtrak Unlimited Discussion Forum:
I have the paid card and use it almost exclusively, and got the offer. With the 4,000 point cap, though, I'm not going to earn many more points than I would otherwise.
Points is points. Leave no point behind.
I agree. I take points any way I can get them.

I just paid $800 towards my insurance. That gets me the 4000 point max. They won't get another dime from me.
BoA/AGR or your insurance?

BoA - aka The Sleazy Bank (as opposed to Wells Fargo - the criminal bank).
If you don't like them why do you have the card?

Amtrak points, points refunds on points travel, no points expiration and the bonuses. I had the pay card. Got the bonus. Dumped it and got the free card. Got another bonus.
However, I misspoke. They just got another $2500 from me - for another LD trip, this time Hinton to ABQ in March. So to make it clearer, either Amtrak travel or sufficient bonus points can persuade me to deal with the devil. I never said I couldn't be bribed.
I just received this for my free card, the day after I signed up for the AF one. Since the offer is retroactive to 11/15, I've already maxed the reward. Sigh. Timing is everything.
Just called my boatyard and changed my account on file. $1000 is one boat buck...
And my offer said "Exclusively for Brian". Y'all got it too? Those hussys!

I don't think the offer is retroactive, only charges after you enroll count.

If my reading of the fine print was correct, it is retroactive.

The fine print says that "once activated you will earn a total of 5 points per dollar spent..."

oh cool! Glad to be wrong on this one, I'm much closer to maxing out then I thought then.

I think they're only sending this to people who weren't using the card much. I didn't get it.
Nope. My wife and I both us our cards on a regular basis and we each got the promo.

Anyone know when the bonus points will get delivered?
Promo ended on the 28th. Up to 8 to 12 weeks from there. Honestly probably a lot sooner.

It's BoA. I think the last deal took so long, I couldn't remember why the points showed up my account.
My 4000 points posted today.

I only had 3137 bonus points post but I'm fairly sure I spent over $800 during the promotional time frame...
