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

[Acela150]

Looking in the past history books AGR double/triple points starts next weeks and is announced by now IIRC... Am I wrong and missing something?? Or is the announcement mid to late week the week before??

Or could AGR be starting something new with the Promos??

You add it to your promotions on the AGR website.

Other than that, I don't know of anything else

It sounds like that one that you posted is a special, targeted offer that is not available to everyone. I actually got the Boarding Bonus last year, but not this year.

According to a posting on Flyertalk by the AGR Insider : Register tomorrow, March 14, 2012 and travel Amtrak now through May 5, 2012 to earn double points on all Amtrak travel, all spring long. Then, join in the celebration of the 5th Annual National Train Day with triple points on any Amtrak travel May 6 – 12, 2012. You’ll also earn a 500 point bonus after 5 qualifying trips.

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

What if you purchased the tickets before the promotion starts?

As long as you register for the promotion, and travel within the promotion period, you'll get the bonus.

I'm not finding the promotion when I pull up my AGR account. I'm curious where folks are finding it. This is not targeted is it?

To answer my own question, it is targeted. :angry2: :angry2: :angry2: I logged in after opening the promotion page through the link in this thread, and I was most rudely informed that I am not eligable for this promo. :wacko: :wacko: h34r: h34r:

How the heck do they target that??!!! It's always been a system wide offer!!! Well I guess I'm calling AGR and giving them a piece of my mind... This has always been a system wide thing.. It should NEVER be a targeted offer..

Edit: Just checked... I'm also not eligible... Really killing me..

 

[Afsheen]

Did you follow this link: https://amtrakguestrewards.com/SpringLine

It seems like everyone is eligible, but sign-up doesn't start until tomorrow.

:help: :help: :help: :help: So what's up with that? We are too good a customer? :mellow:

 

[Afsheen]

If you log out of AGR, it'll show up, but I get the same Not Eligible message when logged in. I imagine it will pop up for logged in members tomorrow, when the promo goes live. I wouldn't panic until tomorrow.

I agree that registering for the promo tomorrow will provide positive results.

Just got off the phone with an AGR rep.. She confirmed it's a targeted offer... :angry2: I'm now waiting to talk to Customer Relations to provide constructive criticism... Cause this is pure non sense... How ever many years of a Member wide offer then they go targeted??? What gives??? I'm sure if enough of us complain they'll give.. :giggle: :giggle:

 

[benjibear]

Let's just wait until tommorow. It said earlier you couldn't register until tommorow so maybe nobody can register. Has anyone been able to register??

Niether my wife of me can't register and we have very different travel habbits.

 

[the_traveler]

I can't!

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!

And she's wrong!

AGR Insider at FlyerTalk would never have put up a public announcement if it was a targeted offer. The agent you spoke with either thought you were talking about some other offer or just has no clue.

Wait until the correct date to try to register!

You both have more than I do. However, I have 2 trips planned for May (4 segments) - I guess I will have to plan another trip to get 5. My points runs are less than $35, so that will not work.
