Does this include travel already booked?

 

[Jim G.]

I think bonus points are earned on "travel" between the dates of the promotion, not when the tickets were purchased.

If as in the past, then yes!

 

[Pat Harper]

Wonderful! I had already booked a trip for Sept 14. This couldn't have come at a better time!

And for those

paying

their rail to the Gathering, double points also!

Remember you MUST sign up for the Double Points Promotion (there also is a 200 Bonus Point Acela Promo running!) to recieve the points, it's not automatic!

And Dave, youve taught lots of us that Paying! is to be avoided at all costs! :lol: :lol: :lol:

More like 400 points for $5 for me, if I don't count the other costs of wandering around between trains in ALN and whatever I end up doing before 40x heads back toward home, lol.

I just signed up for the Double Points Promotion on the AGR website but could not find any info on the Acela 200 bonus point promo. Where can I find out details of this promo?

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a targeted promotion. I didn't see it when I went to sign up for the double points promotion.

 

[gswager]

It's on fine print area- almost on the bottom of its homepage. It took me about 5 minutes to find one on that homepage!

I did not see the offer either after checking the AGR website again. Maybe Jim can provide us the link

I had to Log in to my AGR Account, then clicked on the Home Page, it's across the Bottom in Blue with the other current Promotions, click on the Acela Promo, it has a Logo! (The 50% Bonus for Buying Points is there also!)

 

[Acela150]

I'll tell you this much! I'll be doing points runs for weeks!! :lol:

 

[amamba]

I am totally not seeing this acela promo ANYWHERE. I clicked on the promo page - not there. It is not one of the five things that scroll across with the pictures. It is not listed underneath. It must be targeted to certain folks only.

And they are doing 25% OFF Texas Eagle as well this Fall

From what I read, the 25% OFF Texas Eagle promotion is for bookings done between 1st and 30th September for travel between 1st and 31st January, 2012. The Double Points offer is valid for travels between 7th Sept and 23rd Nov (after Labor day weekend to before Thanksgiving weekend, excluding both holiday weekends!). Is there any other offer going on giving 25% OFF Texas Eagle in Fall?
