We also received this email. I believe that we were at least 3000 points short. A good part of that was Amtrak cancelling our Denver to Emeryville portion of the CZ last September (we had split the CZ in Denver to see Garden of the Gods, Air Force Academy and Red Rocks). That put us on a bus to San Diego so we had to cancel Emeryville to LA and LA to SD. Very happy to receive this bonus from Amtrak!
 
Darn—I rushed over to my email after reading this thread and no luck—as of now, I will be losing Select Plus at the end of February.

I guess this means I’ll be dashing up and down the NEC chasing status while all of you wave at me from the lounges?😁

I really am happy for all of you who got it. Lounge access especially is a lovely perk.
 
I'm waiting for my email....though I was significantly short of keeping Plus, so I doubt I'll get an email, unless it says you've been downgraded.
 
Out of curiosity what’s everyone last names who got status being short? My last name begins with a W so maybe that’s why I haven’t received it yet.

Mine starts with W and you can see by my previous post, I got upgraded. Last name ain’t a qualifier.
 
I got my email and as expected i Made Select Plus again based on TQP earned in 2022. There was 1,000 more TQP than I was expecting. I suspect I made a 1,000 threshold on credit card payments which I was not consciously tracking. But it was not really necessary to make the Select Plus threshold.
 
When do statuses expire?

So assume Amtrak doesn't dish out the same bump-ups next year, how long do the perks last?

I seem to remember sometime in February.
 
I got the same email and only took a few trips, too. They upgraded me to Select Plus even though I was short of the the required number of TQP points. Most of the points I did have were from trips from Ann Arbor to Chicago and home again on the Wolverine Services. I only had only relatively long train trip last to Kansas City and back via the River Runner.
 
Looks like I was rounded up to the next level today in the app and extended into 2025. I'd fallen 400-some points short of the next tier. No email as of yet.

I'm rooting for you all, even if you crash the site now going to check and booking your next travel at your increased level.
