:hi: Thanks Alan, I just Downloaded/Joined in Response to Anthonys Post on Flyer Talk/AGR Forums! (Wonder how long it will take the First 10,000 to Act???) And the 500 Points Posted Instantly!For those that might be interested and use Google Wallet (GW), if you add your AGR account right now to GW you'll get 500 AGR points. This offer is limited to the first 10,000 people who register.
More details can be found here.
Mine allowed me to add it by typing in the number. This was on Android, though.It wants to scan a barcode to be able to add the loyalty program.
Can we not do that if we don't have our AGR card handy? That would suck.
Yes, these points are instant. And even if one misses the 10K limit to get 500 points, one can still get 100 points for those that miss the 10K cutoff.Thanks for the notice, downloaded the app, I just signed up spent thirty seconds with my physical S+ card out realizing there isn't a barcode for the app to scan. Manually inputed my number and the 500 points also posted instantaneously!
Those points are coming from an AGR partner in effect, so they'll take 4 to 6 weeks to post.I'm still waiting for the 500 additional points to post from the survey I did last week on possible AGR credit card designs(It was a targeted e-mail offer).
Good question?Now the real question is: what exactly can we do with the loyalty card being in Google Wallet?
:blush: Shame on you Lt. Stavely! You're on Extra Duty and Restricted to the Ship for Two Weeks! ^_^The wife just did it too.
It made up for most of the 700 points that she lost last month because she didn't have any paid travel in the appropriate time period.
I feel like I should turn in my AU member card for letting that happening to her.
I tried to look for a Google Wallet payment option but the Amtrak App failed just before the payment screen with a "system error" leaving me with no method for confirming what the current options were. I typically use the conventional website or the reservations desk, neither of which have given any indication that GW is an option. I'm guessing that this is a relatively minor linking with GW at this point and that the integration isn't that deep. If Amtrak decides to start taking NFC payments onboard I might see more use for this sort of thing in the future. Until then thanks for the points.I believe that if you use the Mobile App for Amtrak & book travel (at least on Android) you should be able to pay via Google Wallet (this is the way Google wan't you to handle transactions for apps FYI) I would presume that Wallet would also give Amtrak your rewards number. However I'm not booking tickets anytime soon to test this.
Betty, are you certain that you registered for the Double Points promotion? It's not automatic, you must have first taken the step of registering for the promo on the AGR site. You would have received an email confirming your registration too.I still don't see the double points . I'll be patient.
I'm registered. All my other one's (gathering & trains to/from PHL) have posted the bonus.Betty, are you certain that you registered for the Double Points promotion?

If you didn't register, it's not too late. You can still register through this Friday the 22nd, which is when the promo ends. If you register now, it is retroactive and you'll still get the double points within a day.
Ok, give it one day then. I have seen occasions where the bonus points trailed the original trip posting by 24 hours or so. But if they're not in your account by Friday, then something is wrong!I'm registered. All my other one's (gathering & trains to/from PHL) have posted the bonus.
That's what I'm thinking too, the delay. I will wait. Thanks.Ok, give it one day then. I have seen occasions where the bonus points trailed the original trip posting by 24 hours or so.
