When Covid became an issue we had points hubby & I on separate accounts. I haven't been paying attention lately and noticed I now have 0 points. is there any way I might be able to get them reinstated? I will probably be traveling now, but didn't feel comfortable in 2021 and just now feeling...

You are so right - the pictures are nothing - no real information anymore. And, as far as e-mail = I also found that phone works best - takes more time - and in some instances it depends on who you get on the phone. I've gotten so if the phone person says "I'm e-mailing this/that" and I don't...

Thanks all for the info - The Balloon Festival date now explains better the cost of the rental car. We actually needed the rental car to travel further south (train doesn't go) Alamagordo - which is also having some sort of event nearby "atomic bomb site" very seldom open - but same weekend...

Hubby checked rates for the Oct 1st date and the rental at the Airport was $800 at Enterprise. I couldn't believe how high it was. The cab fare to Airport was $25 at least on the site he went to. Usually Downtown hotels are pretty pricey, but I think yrs ago we stayed overnight then went the...

Z thanks for the info - hubby could get as far as "roomette", but said it was something like $800. However, he never was able to get 2 people , but you explained that. We'll try again. used to be very straight forward. Will try Google for the rental cars.

Thank you, Also seem like their website is less user friendly, can't find how to add a person. to find our cost for 2 people. and how to add a roomette. Might be too late to get the roomette anyway.

Been awhile since we've been on the SWChief or anywhere for that matter :) Does it still go daily? Do they still serve meals (or provide) for sleeper till 7 PM ? Is it on time - going to Albuque, NM (sp). Any rental car places near by? Took the train many years ago - thanks for any info can...

It's doubtful I'm traveling anywhere the rest of this year - where will I find the expiration date of my rewards. I know there was something in 2020 that extended, but not sure for how long. If I gave some points to another or they do me, would that extend my ending date? Thanks for any info.

Hopefully coming from East going West Train will arrive close to on time in Albuquerque, NM as have rental car reservation --- if not will need a hotel either nearby or within low cost taxi ride. Rental Car office is about a mile from the train station. Any low cost (safe area) hotels that fit...

It seems like the french toast selection - for breakfast is gone - I really liked that one. and I will NOT be trying the Mussels had them once at a restaurant - one time too many! Hope they bring back the french toast for breakfast

Great ideas - glad there's dinner :) Yes, West bound - good idea about the hotel -- seem to be cutting it really close about the rental car even if only a 1/2 hour late then getting taxi to rental agency. Will definately look at that option closer.

I tried to sign up for the double points initially just to sign up, but there was only book the trip. at that point I wasn't ready -- especially because of the evoucher being 4 days past (the reason for having to go through customer service - to see about waiving that). I'll go ahead and call...

Have a sleeper reservation: Leaving out at 6:40 p.m. is that past the supper hour as far as the diner serving? Arrival Time?? Should I plan on the train 'probably' not arriving on time to ABQ, Albuqure (sp) NM (if that's the case -- are there hotels nearby so I could pick up my rental car the...

I made reservations via Amtrak customer service due to an issue with the e-voucher - the reservation was done -- Now I realized that the person didn't ask for the rewards number. Am I out of luck getting the double points or any points?

Thanks for all the great advice. Sounds great to go to Santa Fe, but no time. I'll ck out Hertz, though have often found it more expensive. I believe the hotel may be an option and pick up the car the next morning -- will have to keep in contact with the rental agency.
