Just wanted to throw out a reminder to my fellow Cali AUers of how great this current promotion is. Ok, the loophole trips got more expensive, but the 1000 point special routes still have to be one of the best travel values anywhere. Just for doing 2 round-trips today, I earned a free trip...

So I'm shilling for AGR again and need some help. There's a couple of college-age kids in the roomette across from me who live in Denver and were really interested when I gave 'em in my AGR/loophole spiel. (They were also on my delayed TE and got to spend last night free at the Hyatt, so they're...

We just had a semi try to beat the train...he lost. At least the driver was able to jump out so nobody was hurt, but the trailer was sliced completely in two. He was hauling yellow expandable foam, which is now all over the tracks. Here's a few pics I took from the rear window of the train...

I'm trying to help a family get their mom set up on AGR right now. I know you can get points for prior trips taken as a non-member as long as you call AGR within 3 weeks, but does that also apply to the referral bonus? If the son refers his mom and she calls to get her points for this trip, will...

Finally, I get to do one of these! I'd been wanting to do the POS-EMY loophole and needed to head down to Santa Ana for a doctor's appointment anyway, so I figured I'd combine the two and run around SoCal for a couple days collecting AGR points before heading east on the Texas Eagle. Instead of...

Props to all the AU loophole gurus for the great info you guys post. I just called to redeem my first AGR award (Pomona to Emeryville via the TE and CZ) and the customer service rep was stunned by the routing Arrow gave him. He put me on hold for a second, then came back and said "Wow, that's...

With the 25% off promo on California travel, I can get to Select for as little as $169. Unfortunately, that'll involve 25 round-trips to the exciting town of Hanford between now and March 31, which I'm not so thrilled about. (It'll actually be a few less than that because I'm going to take some...

I'm bored out of my skull here in Fresno and I want to maximize the Amtrak winter promotion, so I'm trying to come up with some good in-state day trips to take. So here's everyone's chance to live vicariously through me. Suggest some interesting trips and I'll go spend my money so you guys don't...

Hi everyone! I've been reading this forum for the last few weeks and learning about trains, routes, and AGR. Inspired by the_traveler's crazy AGR loopholes, I bought 10,000 points on Dec. 31 so I can maximize my points for the upcoming year. I also plan to take full advantage of the winter...
