Guest Rewards - for Europeans!

I personally think that if you use a US or Canadian address, it is assumed you are a US or Canadian resident. I think one of the main reasons they want a US or Canadian address is that AGR will mail out the award tickets if the trip is more than 1 month in the future, and AGR doesn't want to pay the postage to the UK or France or South Africa or Japan or ...!

All this would probably become a non-issue if Amtrak would get with the program and start doing e-ticketing. Heck even Indian Railways allows me to get on the web make a reservation and get an e-ticket and print out a boarding pass on my printer and just go and board the train on the appointed day. I can't understand why it is so difficult for Amtrak to do the same.

I understand it's in progress.

It's just in progress in typical government bureaucratic style. It will happen. Eventually. Someday. Maybe.
