Although for this blogger, the point is not access to Amtrak lounges, but the ability to triple points through transfers to Choice Privileges for cheap redemptions in places like Europe.

I don't understand the "two tickets in one direction" rule, though - my understanding was that you did not receive additional points if you stayed on the same train number. You had to ride four separate train numbers in order to get credit for four trips and meet the minimum requirement. I know members on this forum do "rail running" during double and triple points days like National Train Day, so it would be interesting to hear your experiences. Thanks.
