This offer must only be Targeted to Poor Folks who Don't live in Resort Areas!I received the email encouraging me to buy points, but with NO bonus. I guess they think I have enough points.

Apparently, those of us who only received 30% offers are "middle of the nation" snow shovelers. If we would have kept our walks clean we might have received the 50% offer. :giggle: But honestly, we bought our last points early in 2013 too, so not sure what the computer is looking for to offer the big time offer.This offer must only be Targeted to Poor Folks who Don't live in Resort Areas!I received the email encouraging me to buy points, but with NO bonus.

NO! It's just that I recently contacted him because I have gotten NO emails from AGR since I signed up back in 2011. He said my email address was flagged as being not valid and he unflagged it. I'm not asking for favoritism, Mr, Cynical.Or maybe you're simply not targeted. Do you want him to "fix" that as well?Didn't get an email. AGR Insider said he "fixed" my eamil problem. Maybe I'll check with him again.

I'm poor (you know that) and you live in more of a resort area than I do...........This offer must only be Targeted to Poor Folks who Don't live in Resort Areas!I received the email encouraging me to buy points, but with NO bonus. I guess they think I have enough points.
I have not gotten AGR emails for a couple of years either and they don't seem to be able to fix it. They have removed the email association from my Amtrak account and "fixed" some invalid flag too. I just check my AGR account every week or so to see if there is anything new.Didn't get an email. AGR Insider said he "fixed" my eamil problem. Maybe I'll check with him again.
I bought points last year for both me and Hubby ON THE SAME DAY (for me with my Chase card through my AGR account, for him with his Chase card through his AGR account). We used both our points on the same trip in December (a two-zone trip east bound, and a two-zone trip west bound 10 days later). I got the "10-30%" offer today, and he got the 50% offer. Go figure.
I have 18,000+ points, and Hubby has 17,000+ points. Not much difference. And we got different offers. Do they have criteria, or is this random??To the ones who received the 50% offer what is your current points total? Mine is 62,000 and havent received any of the offers. Just trying to figure out the criteria for the 50% offer.
I recently redeemed an award and had 9,040 points remaining. With the 15,000 I now have 24,040 pointsTo the ones who received the 50% offer what is your current points total? Mine is 62,000 and havent received any of the offers. Just trying to figure out the criteria for the 50% offer.
Was around 35k. Bought 10k (plus 3k bonus) in June 2013 and December 2012. Haven't spent any yet.To the ones who received the 50% offer what is your current points total? Mine is 62,000 and havent received any of the offers. Just trying to figure out the criteria for the 50% offer.
I forgot I bought points last year, so now I'm really confused about the timing and who they're targeting.To the ones who received the 50% offer what is your current points total? Mine is 62,000 and havent received any of the offers. Just trying to figure out the criteria for the 50% offer.
I agree.I would like to take a moment to advise folks to reconsider posting specific points balances. We live in an era when too much information shared online can be detrimental to your account. You may be surprised what bored people on the internet are capable of, but once you find out the hard way you'll never forget it.
I don't think 62,000, 6500 & 15,000sih are very specific.I would like to take a moment to advise folks to reconsider posting specific points balances.

As someone who has researched and participated in the points game for several years I doubt we'll be able to figure out the algorithm from a sample size this small. Even if we did figure it out what would you do with that information? While you're busy chasing the previous algorithm Amtrak will be busy creating a new one. Some of the qualifying criteria are likely to be historical or otherwise unchangeable by the account holder anyhow.I'm just trying to figure out who they are targeting. Its not random. Maybe low points balance, high points balance. Infrequent card users or very frequent card users. I have 62K and never carry a balance so just trying to figure out how I can get in that 50% email loop.
Although I do agree, even if someone said 56,137 points, it wouldn't really matter. Unless you know the person's AGR account number and password (if redeeming online) or the person'a real full name, AGR account number, full address, etc... (if redeeming over the phone), it won't do much good. You can't just say "I've got 87,459 AGR points and I want to redeem 75,000 points!"I would like to take a moment to advise folks to reconsider posting specific points balances.
