In December, we had a roomette from ABQ to NYP via the Southwest Chief and the Cardinal. This was a 2 zone, 20,000 point trip. Due to a freight derailment, we were held up in Kansas City for 5 hours, then we were bussed to Galesburg. The bus made several wrong turns and it took more than 7 hours. We then took a waiting train to Chicago. We arrived in Chicago way after the Cardinal departed. Amtrak put us up overnight. We then ended up renting a car, and drove home.
Amtrak credited us 5,000 points, because we only traveled one zone. They also issued a $500 voucher which was supposed to be to cover a relatively low bucket future trip from Chicago to New York.
