Where's the Double/Triple Points Promo At??

[Misty.]

Thanks!! But I wonder what 5 Qualifying trips are...

Not the Keystone, I was hoping for that too.

Qualifying trips for the Take 5 bonus points are one-way direct segments, with a minimum spend of $35. For travel that includes connections to additional Amtrak trains or buses, each segment of the trip which costs a minimum of $35 will qualify for the Take 5 bonus award. Take 5 bonus points will be awarded within 4 weeks following your fifth qualifying trip. Travel with a monthly pass or using multi-ride tickets does not qualify for the Take 5 bonus promotion. Only one Take 5 bonus may be earned per member

Upgrade to Business Class? That's what I'm thinking of doing on the runs that I'll be doing in the time frame.

Now I'll never get to sleep tonight, waiting for sign-up tomorrow!

I ...... need ....... more ...... points!

(I'm all the way down to 206K!

)

Then please send me some!

I only have 133 points in my account.

I just checked out the site for AGR and it says Maintenance being performed yada yada.. If I get an email or wake up to an email from AGR stating that these double points are public... Then someones screwing up at AGR..

BC? Or Coach?

Coach, but since my grandma's usually paying, I'm hesitant to get business class.

I was just able to register. I probably won't have the 5 trips but the double and triple points will be nice.

Looks like my exile was brief. hboy: I'm signed up.

So let's see... If one goes to NTD in PHL, at $35.00 e/w WAS-PHL, if bought with an AGR credit card, one was select+ and the two segments qualified one for the 5 segment bonus, that would equal: (credit card) 140 pts + (triple points) 600 pts + (select+) 100 pts + (bonus allotment) 200 pts = 1040 pts!

I'm signed up! Got lucky this year as last year my trip missed the promo window by 2 days!

I was just able to register. There is no way this is a targeted offer.

I am also bummed about the minimum $35 spend. I might have to take acela to boston next week instead of my planned regional trip so I can get the bonus!

 

[lmctrouble]

WooHooo!! looks like I signed up at just the right time!!

The $35 minimum only applies to the take 5, right?

Glad to see they let you (and everyone else) in! My signup today was also processed uneventfully, so now I just need to make time for some $13 PHL-ARD R/Ts to rack up double points.

That is the way I am reading it. Point runs/short trips under $35 spend should still get 100 rail points plus 100 bonus points.

Someone's messing around at AGR then.. The agent I talked to clearly stated it was a targeted offer..

Try the following and see if you can!

Speed up your springtime earning.Register for the Amtrak Guest Rewards® Spring Line promotion and travel Amtrak® now through May 12, 2012.

And earn triple points May 6 – 12, 2012, in celebration of National Train Day.

As I said above, the agent you spoke with had no idea or clue.

When AGR Insider posts something, you can bet on it!

The head of Amtrak Guest Rewards is Michael Blakey. Michael has 4 assistants down in DC and has since the start of AGR, even prior to it coming in house. Those 4 assistants, as well as Michael, all can post as AGR Insider. And recently, Becky Parks, the assistant to one of the assistants has been doing most of the posting at Flyertalk as AGR Insider.

If a report about changes or a promo comes from AGR Insider, you can rest assured that it is solid. These are the people who decide what offers and what rules AGR follows. You just needed to be patient and wait for the correct date to sign up. And calling AGR was a waste of time. They probably didn't get the memo till today, if they were even told. And frankly, they really don't need to be told.

Since we now have an active topic about the 2012 double/triple points promo, I'll shut this one down.

The on-going discussion is HERE.
