Neither is the case, in my experience...the terms of the promo said 14 days, so I never once thought it would be the former above, but the latter is also not the case...I have 7 otherwise-qualifying tickets whose base+elite points posted between 15 and 25 days ago, and none of them has gotten its extra bonus. :|

I enjoy reading your little updates...man, I thought I complained loudly and frequently about/to AGR.

When writing trip reports, I used to pepper them with links...to other trip reports, pictures, other posts of mine, AU profile pages for any members mentioned, and so on. I ultimately had to remind myself that:

The AU forum is not a wiki.

Given the frequency and brevity of your posts, I suppose it is also worth mentioning that:

The AU forum is not Twitter®.

I am only kidding, of course...as I said, I enjoy them.

My points have posted today. Sleepers posted as 400 point "first class" rewards. I made another cool 2,000 points.

Mine just showed up too. 2500 points (21 coach@100 [i am chuljin, after all ], 2 business@200). Travel was between 6/1 and 6/23, and 'original' (base+elite) post was between 6/6 and 6/30.

4 tickets traveled between 6/24 and 6/28, whose 'original' post was today, did not (yet) get the promo points, leading me to this theory:

Everyone's bonuses were 'caught up' today due to a system upgrade, but in future, the bonus points will post the same evening as the 'original' post (similar to the Spring Promo), and the 'up to 14 days' is just for CYA. e.g. the 4 tickets mentioned above, whose base+elite points posted this morning, I expect will get 'bonused' this evening.

Strangely, in contrast to past promos, bonus points are not listed at the relevant page of 'My Promotions'. Reconciling mine will be fun, like just now, knowing that the 2 200-point bonuses I saw were for the business tickets, but wondering which 21 of the other 25 coach tickets had gotten 'bonused'. Luckily I knew that 4 had 'originally' posted today, yielding the (plausible, IMHO) theory above. We'll find out tonight whether I've gotten it right.

PS they again don't seem to be enforcing the 2-segments-per-day rule :lol:

Quick question...

I am trying to figure out if I got the bonus points which I did register for, however I do not even know how many points I am suppose to get.

I have one transaction amount for $435.88 and received 872 points. Is that the normal amount of points or is that doubled for the summer promotion?

That is just your normal 2pts per dollar spent. Whatever bonus points you get will be listed as a seperate transaction on your account as "Summer Power Promo 09 Travel" on the description field.

Thanks. Don't get to deal with AGR points very often so was not sure. So these points posted but not the summer bonus points yet so that means either chuljin was wrong about the bonus points posting the same evening or mine are just messed up.

Mine haven't posted yet either for a trip I took last weekend. All four segments posted, but none of the bonus points. I'm going to give them a week or two before I call.

Yes, I forgot to come back and say that my guess was flawed...no more bonus points have shown up since that bolus on 7/2.

 

[the_traveler]

You mean you're missing 5,000 points! What will you do with so few points? :huh:

:lol:

:lol:

:lol: no, I'm only missing 2,250 points:

1,000 summer bonus points from tickets that have already posted;

500 base, 250 select plus, and 500 summer bonus points from tickets that have not already posted.

so there! :lol:

Vewey interwesting!!! :huh:

I am in the middle of a 5 leg trip from ALB to LAX to PDF then back home to ALB. I have so far completed 3 of the 5 legs of that trip in an H room and this morning AGR posted 400 points on my AGR account labeled "Summer Power Promo 09 Travel." Humm... 3 times 100 = 400?

I expected 100 for each leg but now I wonder where the extra 100 came from? Any ideas?

 

[Long Train Runnin']

Mine posted about a week after they posted on AGR!!! HOORAY!

Sleepers are FC and earn 400 bonus points. So even though 3 have posted, only one ticket has posted its bonus points.

Oh! So that means I still got another 1600 to look forward to. GOODY-GOODY! Thanks for the comeback with that info!

I have received only part of my bonus points but have received all of my travel points. I received 400 points for my sleeper tickets and 200 for a business class.

I think the remaining two 400 points should post soon.

 

[DivMiler]

I traveled a roundtrip on the Keystone on June 26, 2009. I received my regular 100 points for each segment on July 2 and July 3, and received the bonus 100 points for each segment on July 7.

400 points for $17.10 (Harrisburg - Lancaster round trip) (plus 34 points for using my Amtrak Guest Rewards Master Card!).

 

[printman2000]

I got my first 400 bonus points for sleeper. Glad to see they included sleeper in the First Class bonus.

My son even got the 400 being the second passenger in the room.

 

[transit54]

I just received bonus points for the two of the four trips I recently took, also. It looks like there's just a few days of delay on the bonus points.

Interesting! I got my first 400 points posted several day ago but my wife did not get 400 like your son did!
