If you have a AGR Chase Mastercard and use it to buy Amtrak tickets through the Amtrak iPhone app, please review how the credit card points are posting to your account. In my case, it appears that I'm not getting 2 points per dollar for Amtrak travel I buy through the iPhone app. Here's a likely reason why. When tickets are purchased on amtrak.com, the charge shows up as "AMTRAK.COM." When tickets are purchased from the iPhone app, the charge shows up as "MOBILE APP" with no mention of Amtrak. So Chase doesn't know to count this as Amtrak travel.
Are others seeing the same issue? If so, is there a POC for the app developer so that they can update the app or the backend to post the charges properly to earn 2 points/$1 credit?
(Tip: When you have Amtrak purchases in a statement cycle, you get two line items in your AGR account. The upper one is for points earned for buying Amtrak tickets. The lower one is general one point/$1 spend.)
I bought a lot of tickets from the app lately and am feeling a bit burned. Not buying from the app again until this issue is resolved!
