    rude awakening..can I change "cash" reservation to points?

    first experience with the "new system' booking a sleeper, added to my misery is that i;m booking very last minute (high price} and "point shock" compared to the old zone system. I understand that there's pretty much a 20% POIN Tpenalty if you cancel sleeper within 14 days of trip, right...

    Change from sleeper to coach for a couple stops

    I see Denver is border between zone2 and three on the Zephyr.. If I want to save a lot of points am I allowed to have a sleeper to Denver then move to coach for two more stops? I think I would save money by buying the coach ticket.
