Fall Double Point question

[AAARGH!]

For the Fall double point promotion, are the Select tier points doubled also?

Example:

BWI - WAS = $9 fare

Base: 100 points

Base Doubling: 100 points

Select Tier bonus: 25 points*

Select Tier bonus doubling: 25 points???

 

So do I get 225 or 250 points?

 

*Also are the select tier bonus points (not doubling points) considered rail points or not?

 

Thanks.

They are not doubled on my account.

I think you get 225.

I think you get 225.

Thanks.

I found out the answer to what is considered rail points - the select tier bonus is not considered rail miles - only the base is. Oh well.

No - only the base points get doubled.

Example:

Base points = 100

2X base points = 100

Select bonus = 25

Total received = 225 points

FYI - If there are more bonus promos going on at the same time (such as a 2X and a 3X), each is the base points plus the required bonus points. BUT the base points are only given once!

Example you have a 2X and a 3X at the same time:

Base points = 100

2X base points = 100

3X base points = 200

Total received = 400 points (You actually receive 4X, not 5X for 2X + 3X!)

2X base points = 100

Are there any promos that have 3X right now or were you just pointing out an example if there were?

There are no global offers out there, but certain members have received targeted emails that are offering triple points because said member hasn't taken a ride on Amtrak in a while.

Oh yeah, now I remember. Darn, that's not me! :angry:
