So last summer my family of 8 traveled in 2 family bedrooms on the California Zephyr from Toledo to Denver (100,000 AGR transferred from Chase for 2 1 zone family bedrooms round trip)
We had a good time, but the Zephyr was 13 hours late into Denver, and eventually after complaining, they gave us about $1100 in vouchers
I swore I'd never ride the train again but.... I'm thinking about it (gotta use that voucher, right? :-D )
Anyways, I'm looking at the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle or Portland. Currently, there are several dates listed at around $1100-1200 for 1 family bedroom, and they list "only 1 room at this price"
My thought was to use our voucher for 1 family bedroom, and then use 40,000 points to book the other room.
Does anyone know if I can book the cash price (pay with my voucher) for the first family bedroom, and then have there still be availability on the train (even though it's now more expensive) to book the 2nd room with points?
Or, alternatively, anyone have other suggestions for a trip?
