So I took a round trip today. Pvd to NYP to Pvd. I know the deal but how quick will todays points post? Anything I can do to expedite?

Second question. Is July 4 an AGR black out date?

Two to three weeks, no you cannot speed it up, and no it is not.. if there are still seats..

EDIT: I was reading "Jan" as "Jul" heh.

To answer your questions:

1) Points are supposed to post to your account aywhere up to three weeks for travel. Some have had trouble with AGR posting them within that time; I've been fortunate enough to have them post on time.

2) The 4th isn't. But that's already been answered and I don't know how to delete a post, so here is your answer again. :lol:

Although they say "... allow 2-3 weeks ...", many times I find they post within a week or so!
On Friday I will be starting my multi-leg (5) trip out west. Am I correct in presuming that each leg will be posted separately?
Correct. All legs of your trip will post separately.
And not necessarily in order either. They may post #2, #3, #5, #1, #4, #6 and #7!

In fact, in my limited experience, while every leg of every trip so far (knock on wood!) has always posted in a timely manner, none have ever posted in order.

Hey! I like the idea of getting 7 postings of points for a 5 leg trip! Sounds like my kind of trip; sounds like your kind of trip too! ;) :lol:

I included the double points postings for 2 of the legs! :lol: (You did register for the Power Points, didn't you? :huh: )
Yes I did register, but I haven't seen anything about double points. When I spoke to AGR I was told something about I would receive 100 points but nothing about double. Where did I miss the double points info?

I don't believe you missed anything. The way I understand it, you get an Xtra 100 pts. for coach & 400 pts. for 1st class!

Yeah, it was a bad choice of words. :( Instead of "double points posting", I should have said "a second set of points posting later"!

Sorry for the confusion! It is as RF said.

You gotta wait until they build the bridge! :lol: (I'm still waiting - but I hear that it's 4th in line after they build the Mobile and Beaumont stations and the rail line to Alaska from Spokane! :p )
I don't know about that. I hear they already started... but the first attempt failed! :lol:
