I should be close to select status with close to 5000 points by the end of July. In past years, there was a period of time in the fall where Amtrak ran a double points promotion where the bonus points also counted towards select or select plus status. I just missed select plus status one year because I screwed around and did not read the small print. So this year, I want to be more careful.
What I want to do is to make a points run on the Acela on a Saturday and Sunday. What I intend to do is to break the trip into segments to get points on each segment. I know one cannot do this for the same train. Would I be able to book an Acela from Washington to Philly, hang out an hour in Philly, and then continue on to NYC or Boston and gets points for 2 segments on the same day?
Thanks
