    Amtrak One-day Round trip Lodge trip - Christmas 2020

    I agree. I would not be making this fun day trip unless it was planned for around the week of Christmas . . . which is now seven (7) months from now. Although seven months seems to be enough into the future for the COVID-19 safeguards to be in place . . . or if there are no reported cases in...

    Amtrak One-day Round trip Lodge trip - Christmas 2020

    Our annual one-day round-trip couples trip from the Amtrak station in Whitefish, Montana to rural Essex, Montana (southern portion of Glacier National Park) can be a day of total relaxation for those who choose to join us for one full day. The Amtrak round trip tickets average $26 per person...

    Updated Amtrak Website

    I'm not bothered . . . I have always found that by calling a live rep I can get better information, customized adjustments, and the tickets emailed to me.

    I need your feedback on the New Amtrak Hotel Booking site that accepts Points.

    Looks like my wife and I need to just bite the bullet and plan an 80,000 point sleeper trip for 2 weeks. We have done everything from Whitefish, Montana west and south west . . . but the Portland to Denver route was cancelled. So now all we have let is figuring out what to do going east from...

    I need your feedback on the New Amtrak Hotel Booking site that accepts Points.

    I need your feedback on the New Amtrak Hotel Booking with Points. I just have a Base Rewards account, unable to transfer to hotel accounts. This week I noticed in the Hotel Section that Amtrak now has their own booking page for hotels where we can use points to pay. I was hoping to see Choice...

    No more transfer points to Choice Hotels?

    Thanks very much for your help. Yes, I noticed that Amtrak has added a new Hotel Booking portal that takes my points, but the nights average around 11k to 15k for modest, compared to the Choice transfer rate of 5k to get 15k in Choice.

    Time is running out to earn 50% more points.

    Okay, when if this offer comes up again . . . and Amtrak wants me to spend each year 5000 points to get Select membership, does that mean I will only need to spend $2500 to get 5000 point?

    No more transfer points to Choice Hotels?

    Well, this is disappointing. I guess my account is a "base account" because they want me to spend $5000 a year to become a Select member to be able to transfer my points. In the meantime, they now allow me to book hotels using their website and my points, but the selection of hotels are more...

    No more transfer points to Choice Hotels?

    Just got off the phone with Rewards and they said that although I have 100k in points, because I have been sitting on them I no longer have any privileges except barebone that allows me to only transfer 5000 Choice points once per year. At that rate it will take me 20 years to get my choice...

    No more transfer points to Choice Hotels?

    It was just a few weeks ago that I saw my ability to transfer Amtrak Rewards directly to Choice Hotels. Now I don't see the option. Instead, all I see is Best Western and one other. Anyone know if this is a goof?

    Portland station

    If you arrive at Portland on time, then you may want to invest $30 in purchasing two hot meals nearby before boarding. Better, you can call Pizza Hut and speak to the manager - order a very nice large hot pizza with all of the trimmings, provide a credit card, and ask that the driver deliver...

    Is there a East Glacier to West Glacier shuttle?

    Yes, the Glacier Lodge at East Glacier offers several options for you: OPTION 1: You could pay their nominal shuttle bus fee to go from Glacier Lodge north to the St Mary Lodge, where you can pick up the West Bound free park shuttle. As an example, they only charge $8 to go from Many Glacier...
