Select Plus Upgrade

[Reno89502]

So I did a quick PHL-TRE trip on Wednesday so I could get enough points to reach Select Plus status. I was wondering, when I was upgraded to Select, I received 3 Upgrade Coupons and 3 One Day Club Acela/10% off Coupons. I was wondering if they send you the same coupons when you reach Select Plus status, or do they send you out something different.

They send you different stuff. You should get 4 - 48 hour upgrade coupons and 2 companion coupons. And of course now with your new card, you can come and go at the lounges like they're the public library.

Those Companion Coupons sound good. What does it entail?

 

[AlanB]

Basically you pay for your ticket and you can bring along someone else for free. However, they are not valid with bookings that involve sleepers.

Thats what I was wondering if they can be used for Sleepers. I wonder if they can be used for Acela First Class.

I wonder if they can be used for Acela First Class.

Yes, they can.

I wonder if they can be used for Acela First Class.

Yes, they can.

But you must pay the upcharge for FC, the coupon will only cover the railfare portion.

I used it today for the first time to access Club Acela. I was waiting for my partner to come in on the Keystone from HBG, and it really comes in handy when you want to use the "Good" bathroom in Club Acela. LoL
