Lead Service Attendant
The good Mr. chuljin is pretty far from a railfan: He's traveled a lifetime total of three segments: a paid one, LAX to SAN a few years ago (can you believe he-who-could-care-less-about trains [though I'm working on it] took his first Amtrak trip two years before I took mine? 
), and two award ones ('paid' from my account), GDL-SBA and back a couple months ago.
Despite the apathy , I convinced him to go LAX-SAN and back at the end of this month, to visit friends of ours. It will again be an award trip out of my account, since doing so is a little cheaper (the way I calculate it, anyways).
Just in case, I referred him to AGR, and so now he has a member number.
In my experience with award tickets, the member number is printed on the ticket, and a token 0 points is posted on the usual schedule. So now that he has a member number, it will be on his ticket, and after the usual week or so, token 0 points will post to our respective accounts.
So the question becomes: does reward travel count as 'travel' for the purposes of the referral bonus? I.e. is each of us likely to get the 500 points?
(100,000 is just around the corner [though 40,000 of those are transfers in from CO]), but it would be a nice little bonus!
Thanks!
Chris

Does anyone have experience with a similar situation? Not that 500 points is a lot, the way I manage to roll in themReferral Email said:
