I just received this email from AGR. Since I am SE, I do not have to register, but I assume other tiers must register. I plan to travel at the end of this month (cash for one way and points the other) and it will be nice to get double points.

Wow, just in the nick of time! I'm heading out to California tomorrow. I wish it included TQP's also, though. Do you know whether, in the past, the tier bonus points were included?

Thanks for posting so fast.

I do not recall in "normal" years that TQPs were doubled. However, for the last few years, AGR has been generous with TQPs.

I have a trip CA to DE in April. But it's all paid in points, so it won't do me any good for that trip. I imagine I'll have one or two trips to U of MD before the end date.

No, I know that TQP's aren't included unless specifically noted.

I was asking about the 25% bonus travel points for Select.
Sorry for misunderstanding your question. I do not recall the bonus points being doubled in the past, only the base points were doubled, if I remember correctly.

Oh this is great- I’m traveling in BC in April!
And just to confirm your assumption, yes at Select Plus I had to register. :)
It’s ok if this was booked earlier, correct? Meaning you just have to TRAVEL during those dates, not actually book during those dates?
