And how exactly do you get a roundtrip for $5? What discounts do you have?More like 400 points for $5 for me, if I don't count the other costs of wandering around between trains in ALN and whatever I end up doing before 40x heads back toward home, lol.Me too, though from DAL. 400 points for $18, plus getting two Amtrak rides, isLooks like I'll be doing a few lunch runs down to FTW this Fall
The Web site customizes the five things to include targeted promos. For instance, when I log in using my AGR number, I get a sign-up for the "spend $5,000, get 10k bonus AGR points promo," for which I was targetted. When I log using Mrs. Ispolkom's AGR number, that isn't one of the five things scrolling. FWIW, neither of us get an Acela promo.
I just read the fine print and noticed that too but if anything, that gives a little something to look forward to AFTER Double Points. But then like last year, maybe they'll do TRIPLE PointsFrom what I read, the 25% OFF Texas Eagle promotion is for bookings done between 1st and 30th September for travel between 1st and 31st January, 2012. The Double Points offer is valid for travels between 7th Sept and 23rd Nov (after Labor day weekend to before Thanksgiving weekend, excluding both holiday weekends!). Is there any other offer going on giving 25% OFF Texas Eagle in Fall?And they are doing 25% OFF Texas Eagle as well this FallMe too, though from DAL. 400 points for $18, plus getting two Amtrak rides, isLooks like I'll be doing a few lunch runs down to FTW this Fall

None. That was cash/voucher in hand, about a half hour before departure. STL-ALN was in D bucket, and based on what I experienced (a more quiet/private "I'm opening this door for exiting at ALN"), it's just my guess that short run rarely, if ever, exits D bucket.And how exactly do you get a roundtrip for $5?

And here I thought being able to go from Norman OK to Purcell for $5 each way was cheap.
Acela promo?? It's a basic double points promo for the fall. I would imagine for ALL trains. It should be right below the five items. If not then it should be one of them.
No Acela promo for me either. I did get another business class promo to earn an additional 200 bonus points when you take business class. This creates a question for me: If I were to take Acela Business Class between two city pairs during the double points promo is this what I would get: 500 x 2 (city pairs, double pts) + 200 x 2 (business class promo, double points) = 1400 points one way?
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I am registered for the double points promo. But some of the other folks are referring to a promo where one gets an extra 200 points when taking the acela between the 500 point city pairs. THAT is the promo that I don't see - for me or my H. But again, I have a lot of acela trips under my belt this year so it would make sense that if it is a targeted offer, I didn't get it.

I get a Senior Rate of $5.95 AUS-TAY and TAY-AUS when the Fare is Low Bucket, this summer most days it was $7-$11 with TEMPO Cashing In on the Full/SOLD OUT Eagles/Sunsets status!
Sounds like a Select thing and Select plus. I know from reading on here your select. Call AGR and ask if you were targeted. Never hurts to ask.
