Sorry, I was talking about the dome on the Adirondak. I'm assuming the trees will be pretty much all bare by 3 November.

Hi ya, So, my schedule has finally opened up a bit and I have a Monday / Tuesday off. Has anyone done the last of the Dome runs, and if so, were the leaves still pretty, or already done? I'm able to do the 3rd of November, which is the last day. Thanks, Brad

It looks like my family and I will be doing our first major Amtrak ride next summer, from PGH to ORL...and on AGR Points :) My father is in a wheelchair, and I was a bit concerned about accessiblity. I know his sleeper would be okay, but are the hallways? Can he navigate from the sleepers...

While the time from Boston isn't as fast as driving (sometimes,) I am more excited that I can take 66 from WAS and connect up on the first northbound to Brunswick. That to me is a real value. I can have a day in WAS then sleep my way to Maine.

Maybe this was posted already, but I didn't see a thread. Some of the Points for Shopping have gone up, doubled actually. Nordstrom is earning 14/dollar and iTunes is earning 8/dollar, up from 7 and 4 respectively. Just a heads up :)

This sounds like a stupid question as I type it out, but I couldn't find an answer in search, nor could Amtrak's site point it out to me. I've ridden Acela in first, so I know that the first class meals are based out of departure times from key cities, however, is Cafe Acela the same way. I am...

Touche. I'll give you that. There is something about the one in the strip. I frequent it at 4am-ish. Right after the afterhours bar closes. Tasty good times for all.

As an FYI, there is a Primanti location in the city as well, about the same distance the other way. Its a 15 min walk or so to Market Square, but there is a bit more to do and see on the way.

For Groupon, at least in Pittsburgh, I get a ton because my family buys things like carpet cleaning (55 for 3 rooms,) and a fair amount of restaurants. Its money I was already spending, so easy points. I just wish they would do the offer for the Body Shop again. It was $20 for $45 dollars, so...

I get a ton from Groupon (4x Dollar, though I feel it used to be 7x), and iTunes (also 4x). Nordstrom is another big earner for me, you get 7/ dollar and free shipping and returns.

I am the OP here (was on my iPhone at work, and it wouldnt let me log in to save my life....grr...) I've been playing around with pricing, and it seems to be back down to where it normally is...leaving me to seem like the little boy who cried High Bucket. I'm just going to assume that when I...

The reason one can't book YYZ to PIT on the Megabus is that the service is being discontinued. It's rather tragic, honestly as the route was awesome with stops in Erie and Buffalo. Boo hiss.

Where do you see the 12,000 point offer? When I went though the Guest Rewards site, it only shows the 32,000 point offer for doing the Mastercard.

As a Pittsburgher, this entire Southwest thing has really bothered me. When USAirways was a hub here, I can remember $39 each way to PHL hourly. Ah the good old days. I don't know how much Amtrak will be picking up from this route. I would think it would be quite a bit, but at the same time...

Yep, you can book a sleeper on the app :) I tried tonight
