Bonus Points for Select Status

[Bob Dylan]

A welcome e-mail from AGR today informed me that I was receiving 1,500 Bonus points in my account ( I had to register on the link provided)for achieving Select Status for 2011! (unfortunately my budget will prevent Select+ Status) Wonder what Select+ members received if anything? Also a fellow member notified me that they received an e-mail telling that from 7/06 (today)until 9/04 they would receive double points for all travel to help them reach Select Status! Did anyone else get this, I would think it was targeted??(I tried to register for it too,as the _traveler says every point counts, but it wouldnt let me!)

I'm only Select but try promo code 70910 for a 25% bonus that counts toward Select Status!

Jim, I received an e-mail saying that I had received a 3,000 point bonus as Select + for 2011.

I got one that said I'll get double points through Labor Day and they will count towards my status.

Code not valid for me DANG IT!!

I am Select, but have not reached it for 2011 yet. I did not receive a bonus, but did get an email offering me a promotion where I would get double points until Sept. 4 that would count towards my 2011 status. I signed up for that promotion (probably the same promo that ALC received). I had already signed up for the summer triple point promotion.

I wish I got that 2x points bonus that counts for status!

I could have done some major damage with it!

Its too bad I don't have any travel plans...

Maybe you could transfer your points to the_traveler, poor deprived soul probably only has a few million!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I also just got the bonus offer of 3,000 extra points for making S+ status for 2011!! A very nice treat from AGR -- THANK YOU!! The 2 previous years I have also made S+ status half-way through the year and they never offered a 3,000 bonus. In previous years, as a perk for early S+ status, AGR would send an extra set of coupons (4 upgrades to business class on trains or to FC on Acela) and 2 companion coupons. Since I dont really have any major travel plans with a companion in coach this year --- AND --- because I am not planning any Acela rides before February 2011, I am happy to get the 3,000 bonus points instead of the extra set of coupons this year!!!

I travel a lot from Milwaukee Airport (near where I live) to Glenview (where the folks live) making S+ status this early. PLUS, I also do a lot of day trips to Lincoln, IL and Galesburg, IL on my days off (probably atleast 2x a month) as my form of relaxation. I also did a great cross country trip this spring (BOS-WAS-NYP-NOL-LAX-SEA) that helped my status.

I got the 1500 pts one. Does that mean I won't get the one for double pts towards select plus? I got a Huge trip to west coast for July that would get me close to select plus if this was so.

I'm Select, got an offer for 1,500, but didn't get an offer for add'l points to be used towards PLUS status.

Though, *keeping fingers crossed*, it looks like I may actually make it, what with a Cardinal trip, Silver trip, & Texas Eagle / Cap trip coming up in the next few mos......

I registered for the bonus promo but the 3,000 points have yet to post.

I registered for the bonus promo but the 3,000 points have yet to post.

They posted for me at Midnight the night after signing up for the promotion -- check back in the AM!

Congrats everyone

I got the 1500 bonus points for Select, but no double points or 25% bonus. Dangit, going to Hanford was a lot more fun when it was worth 450 or 650 points during the spring promo. This 250 per round trip is getting kinda dull.

Bonus still not posted.

I received the e-mail also (Select, 1,500 Bonus Points)three days ago but still they havent posted!

 

[KayBee]

I got the one that gives me a 50% bonus on all points earned on Amtrak® travel that counts toward status.

I have already made Select status for 2011, and am currently at Select+

 

[ALC Rail Writer]

IF I did have some nice trips planned, I wonder if I could get S+ next year if these double points continued after 5,000 points..
