    Amtrak delays site is no more...

    Thanks for that link. Your site is wonderful. I also found the missing link to the old site and couldn't find a replacement.

    Freedom Card, Anyone?

    Found the answer while at Chase for another issue. Yes, you must enter the vendor website via your Chase account rewards link to get the additional points. There are 253 vendors including Sears, Best Buy, Etc. Also had them call and arrange to send my card now instead of "by 11/7". Got the...

    Freedom Card, Anyone?

    Question for experienced Freedom Card folks. I can see my activity and an Amazon purchase shows the 5% bonus. But I also made a purchase online with Lowe's. Lowe's is one of the merchants who has a 3% bonus for online purchases but my activity statement only notes the usual 1%. I purchased this...

    eTickets not appearing in app

    What does "they don't" mean? And, as I stated above, I do have an iPhone. In order to put the tickets in Passbook they need to appear in my reservations in the Amtrak app.

    eTickets not appearing in app

    I used my AGR points to purchase two Business Class tickets on the Surfliner online via my PC. Neither ticket appears in my iPhone Amtrak app. I can look them up by the reservation number and they appear in the Recent Lookup area but are not to be found in My Reservations. I presume if I clear...

    Food Problems on Coast Starlight

    Last Sunday they served dinner on #11 in both the diner and the PPC on day two. We ate in the PPC and all foods except some of the desserts were available. Did not hear of any problems in the diner.

    downgraded place settings?

    As of this week's trip the CS has Melamine dinnerware. There were cloth table cloths in the PPC, no paper coverings. Real coffee cups. Didn't run out of various desserts until the last dinner. And as has been reported the wine tasting was resumed on day 1 for $7.50.

    Ticket mixup

    Yes, you would need a Smart cell phone which many, many people have. And cell towers are found in any town you travel through, even in the mysterious state of Montana. But I agree that the system as it now functions is very poor. I like Sarah's idea of cancel only the no show part.

    Ticket mixup

    I had an AGR agent handle a Surfliner ticketing for me and my husband as I needed to let them know about my husband's oxygen and walker. For some reason he set it up as two separate e-tickets, both were round trip. Once on the train I handed both e-tickets to the conductor for scanning. A bit...

    availability of cabs at LAUPT

    Parking at LAUPT is $6 per day if that is better for you. Taxi fare can be expensive.

    Map of LAUS?

    Thanks for the website link Ricky. I added some comments to the blog but I think your comments covered the most important issues. I did note that the new Metropolitan Lounge does not show on the map. Thought perhaps a reminder that we are looking for that great event was warranted.

    iPhone App and AGR

    OK. Perhaps this is another area for improvement of the app. Will do it online.

    iPhone App and AGR

    Am I missing something or am I unable to reserve tickets using my App and using AGR points? Can't see any way to do it.

    First Class Lounge to open in LA Union Station?

    I agree, I was being generous. Can't wait to see if this really comes true. Will be there in November for a BC trip.

    First Class Lounge to open in LA Union Station?

    I have never seen more than 40-50 people in the Traxx Bar waiting for the CS to depart. Not all passengers in the sleepers board at LAX. I think there will be plenty of room for the BC passengers as well if the lounge holds 100. Sure wish they would post some info about it.
