Too bad. It may be getting tougher. My experience 3 out of the 4 calls I made regarding ABQ to MSP said it was 1-zone, and I booked two of them. 1st call, the agent told me it was one zone when I was expecting two and didn't even know it could be considered one. When I got the points to actually...

Just had all my points post which was pleasantly surprised to see this quickly, given that people reported issues. That Continental card, doubling their points when going through the Cont shopping portal sure was a great deal while it lasted. Too bad I didn't find out about it earlier.

Right, I didn't say anything about a 1 zone award. I missed the part about your wanting something different than EB. But f you have the time and 10K more miles you could do them all. 30K MKE to LAX 20K one way award LAX to Denver. Either back through ABQ or probably better up through SAC...

Do you get double points if you use the AGR CC on the points for shopping mall? I got double points with Continental but that ended this month.

My ABQ to MSP trip is $3711 for 20K miles. If I had an Amtrak CC, I could have got this trip for only 18K which would be over 20¢ per point! I wonder if they would rebook me at 18K if I got a card? Trip is still more than 2 months out. Though I doubt I will get targeted. I have so many cards...

I have two 4 night BR trips from ABQ to MSP booked with 20K each. Just call another agent. I had the first one booked a couple of months ago. Just called up and booked the same deal for friends of mine to join. Agent looked at my res and said without my asking. That's a one zone trip and charged...

I think you would be hard pressed to get the card, spend the $3K, and get the points to use on a trip in 25 days. The Cont deal may have a better chance for you because it is one time use. When you get the CO card to activate it, change the billing date to a few days from when you call. Make a...

If this is a reward ticket there wouldn't be any extra cost to add your son to your bedroom. If he needed a place to sleep, maby you could still book him in your room so he would have free meals and access, but also buy a coach ticket? I have thought of this type of scenario myself and wondered...

Thanks, don't you need to pay an activation fee to activate it each time? I am thinking of getting a Palm Pixi Plus which can be hacked for free hotspot use, then I would only be paying the $30 monthly fee to swap out for my non data phone when going on a trip. If I set this up as a new service...

I am taking a long trip this fall from ABQ to MSP. What cellular data plan would be best for this trip so I could get on the internet? Would T-Mobile do well? Would PagePlus work OK across the Verizon network? (Verizon rep tried to tell me PagePlus only has some of Verizon's coverage area.) I...

LOL, does anyone ever "need" another credit card? Get it, use it once, sock drawer for a year, in case they come back with some nice bonus for using it, then cancel. Actually, I would like to have the AGR card for the 5% redemption rebate, but am waiting for a targeted offer. I am going to...

Thanks for the info. With the wintery weather, flood reroutes and possible bustitution etc., I decided not to take the trip this week. it would have been a good deal however. Flights back to MSP from DEN were only $68 and car rentals were available over the weekend for only $7/day in Denver...

FYI, you should go for the Continental card for 50K as mentioned here earlier. It isn't targeted, but you need to go through the right link or you will only get 25K. Look on FlyerTalk in the MilesBuzz forum. LOL, I even called up a Chase bank and had to take the rep there through how to get the...

Mine is FlyingBoat. I used to have a Flying Inflatable Boat, (FIB), which I could fly off of water up to several thousand feet and go land on a different lake, etc. This was an ultralight. I never soloed on it, though I took a few hours of instruction on similar equipment. I ended up selling it...

I agree. Thinking of all the time I have spent looking day by day prior to this post. Thanks for the time saver! Also, do you know anything else about this site regarding being able to ride with bikes?

Any idea of how scenic the trip from MSP to DEN would be right now? Weather here in MSP is going to be terrible for the next week so I thought it might be a good time to get a trip in. But I am not too interested in seeing baren trees. I suppose glacier is like here in MSP and still not very...

Thanks for the info when paying for a sleeper that each person pays the rail fare and the room is an added charge. But I was thinking of this for reward travel and the third person is no extra miles. I wouldn't very much like the "Lounge Lizards" or people taking up 2 or 3 seats either, or even...

Thought I would ask this here. People have been so helpful. When taking 3 adults in the 2 bed BR, is it possible to have one person sleep outside the BR? I first thougth of this for a friend, who's dad always sleeps in his easy chair at home anyway. Can the third person go to the regular...

In my case, the 11:59PM departure time is what hurt my plans on trying to do a Den to MSP trip leaving on 10/6. I would board CS train in Sac on 10/7 at 11:59PM so they couldn't book it. One minute later in the schedule and it would have been OK! FWIW, "Boarding" makes more sense to me, and...

Called up a few minutes ago and used my own versus wife's AGR account to book another room with the same itinerary. Got this one for 20K miles! :) Rep started saying there is an issue with the route because there would be a layover in CHI, etc. I said that's OK, I want to go through LA...
