I may have to change a trip I'm taking from Washington DC to Cleveland in a roomette. At first, I was leaving DC on Dec. 31st. The cost was $182.50 with a points redemption of 6659 points. I did the math and found it was approximately 36.5 points per dollar which seems like the usual ratio...

My wife and I are booked on a round trip from Cleveland to Los Angeles in March. Almost all of it, Toledo to LA and back were booked as old two-zone AGR redemptions. The other parts, Cleveland to Toledo and Toledo to Cleveland were booked normally. We will travel in a roomette the entire...

I booked a loop trip, for March, with my Guest Reward points when the new Guest Rewards new rules came out last fall. I've taken the trip before, from Cleveand to Los Angeles using the Capitol Limited, Texas Eagle, and Sunset Limited to Los Angeles. Then on the return using the Southwest Chief...

With all the confusion concerning the Chase AGR card, I decided to get the Chase Preferred card. Question, can I transfer the points free to my AGR account each month? Plus, if I do that, would it affect the 40,000 point bonus offer?

I have made many multi-train trips over the last 20+ years with hardly ever a problem. But now, I am a tad concerned about an AGR trip I have booked. I am taking a loop trip CLE-CHI-WAS-BOS-CLE in September using trains 29, 50, 66, and 449. I am using an AGR trip from CIN to BOS on my account...

I am planning a trip to Boston from Cleveland in September. Usually, I travel the Capitol Limited to DC, spend most of the day there walking around and visiting the Irish Times. Then late at night, I take train 66 to Boston where I board the LSL for a return to Cleveland.. This year, I have a...

Anyone know what's happened to the CL tonight? It's stuck before South Bend for over 2 hours.

My wife received an Android tablet for Christmas. We travel several times a year on Amtrak from Cleveland. I know this has probably been asked before but, I am wondering if there is a decent mapping app that I can use with the tablet. I have the Delorme Topo USA GPS program on my laptop and...

I know the AGR redemption rules changed a few months ago. My sister is trying to plan a lengthy trip and with the new rules and interpretations, I thought I'd check with the "experts". Here's the trip....she wants to travel from Cleveland to West Glacier where she will spend a few days. For...

I just noticed that on my DC-CLE trip on the Capitol Limited on March 5, I am booked in car 2900, room 14. I know the room is a downstairs room and I'm pretty sure car 2900 must be the transition sleeper. I can't recall ever traveling in the transition sleeper. I know some don't like it, but...

A friend of mine is going to book an AGR roomette redemption from Cleveland to Miami. Since the redemption is set up for two people, I am going to travel the Capitol Limited segment with him. Is there a problem with a person making only part of the trip on a redemption? Should it even be...

Is there a way to delete "Recents" stations in the Amtrak Android app in the Train Status page? I'm pretty sure I've done that but can't remember how it was done.

I'm looking at a trip to DC from Cleveland this month on the CL. On the Amtrak website, a couple days it says canceled and on at least one other day, it gives that announcement about one of the portions of the trip in unavailable. Are they still working on daylighting some of the tunnel near...

I have a friend that wants to travel within the next two months between Cleveland and Miami. I told him the fares would be pretty high because there wasn't much lead time and the Silver Meteor would be packed with people fleeing the cold. I was correct. Now, I might have a solution for him...

Before I make the call or several calls to AGR, I thought I'd ask the experts here. What is the number of zones for a trip from Columbus, Wisconsin to Burlington, Iowa using the EB, CS, and CZ? I think it is a two zone trip.

I use the Cleveland Amtrak parking lot several times each year during my Amtrak travels without any worry at all. My neighbor's future son-in-law, is a police officer in one of the Cleveland suburbs. Over the weekend, he was visiting and told me I shouldn't park there on my next trip. He said...

I just downloaded the new Amtrak app for my Android phone. A trip I've booked on the LSL for early November was not on my Upcoming Trips list. Then I remembered it was an AGR rewards trip booked using my wife's AGR account. However, when I went to her Amtrak profile, it wasn't listed there...

I am looking at booking a trip from NYP to BOS on #66, in November. Here is what I have found from the website: Traveling business class: with no discounts...$69 rail fare+$35 BC= $104 total with AAA discount...$62.10 rail fare+$35 BC= $97.10 total Now that makes sense, but this doesn't (at...

A year or so ago, I traveled to Boston on the Lake Shore Limited from Cleveland on a Saturday after a Notre Dame/Boston College game at Notre Dame. Since then, I have contemplated traveling to a Notre Dame game via the LSL or the CL from Cleveland. However, I don't know enough about the South...

I was recently checking my points that were posted on July 15th. Since the statement before that, I had 1700 points added to my AGR account based correctly upon $1700 in "other earnings" for AGR credit card purchases. However, there was a 548 point deduction based on "other earnings" from the...
