I didn’t want somebody to get confused between base points and TQP’s.

OK question about the Amtrak World Card. Are the points that you earn on purchases count as TQPs?

No

Or are just the 1000 TQPs that you earn quarterly for the required quarterly purchase the only TQPs that you earn?

Yes. But to clarify a misconception -- it's not quarterly, it's yearly. This is how it works:
-- if you put $20,000 on the card over the course of a year, you get 4000 TQPs
-- if you put $15,000 on the card, but not $20,000, over the course of a year, you get 3000 TQPs
-- if you put $10,000 on the card, but not $15,000, over the course of a year, you get 2000 TQPs
-- if you put $5,000 on the card, but not $10,000, over the course of a year, you get 1000 TQPs.

The TQPs arrive at the end of the monthly statement as you reach each "threshold". If you put a ton on the card in January, you can get them all at once (I've done that).

(I think that I know the answer, but I would like to get it confirmed by the Amtrak gurus here on the board). Thanks for sharing.
