On 5/9 I traveled from WAS to ORL and I qualified for triple points. The trip cost 412.30 and I received credit for 826 rail points. However, I received triple points in my overall points, but only double rail points. Is this correct?

I am hoping that an AGR expert will let me know if I received all the points to which I am entitled.

Thanks.

That is correct. Your get 2X rail points per dollar spent only. The bonus does not apply to the rail points.
 
AAARGH! is correct. You receive 2/$ as rail points. That amount is doubled or tripled.

So in your case, your rail points were 826, those were tripled (826+826+826) and you received 2,478 points. it probably posted as 826 - rail points and 1,652 triple points! These add up to the 2,478 points!

BTW: If you have a triple point promo and a double point promotion at the same time, you only receive the rail points once! ;) So using the above numbers, you would receive 826 rail points plus triple points (1,652 points) plus double points (826 points, for a total of 3,304 points! ;)

Thanks to you and AAARGH.

You are correct, I received 826 rail points and 1,652 triple points. (I also received 207 select points.)

I really appreciate your help with this "advanced" math.
