It is a July 17th departure; and a July 19 arrival

You might do a virus scan on your computer, just in case.

How does one adult and five children even book separately? I'm basically certain you can't do it online, so she had to have called, which would be where she was told, "the crew would be informed they were all traveling together." But why would they have needed separate reservations for price...

Three month olds are generally so very portable. This seems like a pretty easy trip (as cross-country coach trips with children go). Tend to the needs (and wants) of the baby (this is NOT the time for "cry it out") and enjoy the ride.

I have definitely seen legitimate service dogs on Amtrak. The trick with them is, it takes actively noticing them, because they do not make themselves obvious, in general (though there was a German Shepherd whose nose crept out into the aisle while he was sleeping, which he did for most of his...

I'd pay the $37 for the Surfliner ticket.

Likewise. My points (20,000 promotion, plus purchase points) appear on the PDF of the Nov 7 statement, but they do not yet appear on amtrakguestrewards.com.

I would not hesitate to contact Amtrak customer service about it- there is no harm in making that complaint. I'm wondering if you tried asking your SCA before doing it by phone. ?

Note that the $79 annual fee does not count toward the $1000, so if you were close and only went over $1000 because of the fee, then the bonus points wouldn't apply yet. Were your regular spending points credited?

I have used my old (Chase AGR) card number at Amazon since October 1: it worked, and it received the 5x points.

My BoA points posted to my AGR account the day the statement dropped (Wednesday of this week). Others' have, too- if yours haven't, I would contact BofA first, to be sure they've got your AGR# correct. I haven't quite made the minimum spend yet for the sign-up bonus, but others who have got the...

Double points for our weekend hotel stay (plus single points for everything else) posted. Didn't quite hit $1000, so will have to wait until next month.

My limited experience is that credit cards are not forwarded. I had a card returned to sender and then cancelled because it couldn't be forwarded and the old mailbox was marked as no-deliveries.

But under the new rules, any activity would be enough- so the points added by charges on the August, 2015 statement (for example) of the Chase AGR Mastercard should count. Also, in the case of the OP, redemption travel also counts.

Yes, precisely. I'm not sure if I'm being misunderstood but I was attempting to say exactly that- that Anthony is saying there isn't a problem. :)
