I'm planning a trip from Denver to San Francisco next month with a friend and it will be the 1st time I'll be using my points. I've tried to search how to do this but as others have mentioned - it's not very clear.
My understanding is that there are no discounts given so you can only do it as an adult. I'm going to be paying for the trip and booking a roomette for us both ways. I'm not sure if I can use my points for her "coach seat" part. Can I just make the one booking or would I have to pay cash for her seat? If I have to do that - how will I be sure she is listed in the roomette?
I'm going to call and not do it online but I like to know what to expect so I'm prepared.
When I was checking my AGR page I saw listed from July 15th an AGR member Reactivation eCoupon 30 pct Discount 2016-2017 valid 8-5-16 - 10-8-16. I have no idea what this is about.
I printed it out and it says it's valid for 30 pct off the regular adult rail fare and it's valid for sleeper accommodation upgrades upon full payment of accommodation charges. It also says that it can't be used with any other discount or Amtrak Guest Rewards redemption travel. Does this mean it's only good if I'm paying and not using my points?
Thank you all for your help. I really enjoy reading what you all have to say.
