Guest rewards site asking for additional login - cannot log in

[mignyc]

This morning when I go to the Guest Rewards site, and click on the shopping portal, I get a new (to me) popup saying "The server http://shop.amtrakguestrewards.com:80 requires a username and password. The server says: Amtrak."

I tried to log in using both my AGR username (an email address) as well as my AGR number, and tried it on two different browsers. Then I logged out, opened the site again, logged in, and tried: same result.

Anyone else experiencing this? I shopped successfully on the site yesterday.

No, I don't know what could be the problem. I've had no problems with the site.

Darnit.

I was able to sign in at the Guest Rewards site without any problem 5 minutes ago.

Hopefully it was just a temporary glitch this morning and if you try again now it will have resolved itself for you,

Fudge, didn't work.

Very strange.

It's the shopping portal that's throwing the error... not the site itself (just a clarification.)

That's not the link I get when I go to the shopping portal. Try this one:

https://amtrakguestrewards.com/shopping/

Any link that requires a login should start with "https", not "http" like the one you posted above. The "s" means it's secure.

I was just able to go all the way thru to buying stuff with no problem thru the Amtrak awards portal for Pet Smart and Drugs.com

Interesting.

The "shop today" link on the homepage (https://www.amtrakguestrewards.com/), bottom right, still throws the login error.

However, if I click through from https://amtrakguestrewards.com/shopping/, as you suggested, I don't get the error.
