Sleeper--no differentiation between roomette and bedroom?

[Big Green Chauvanist]

I guess I'm missing something, but the 2016 points estimator as shown in the chart does not seem to differentiate between a roomette and a bedroom. Just refers to class of service as "sleeping car". How can that be?

Because under AGR 2.0 it is fare based, it no longer "costs" more automatically for bedrooms. If due to the buckets the price for bedrooms are less than for roomettes on your train, bedrooms will cost less points than a roomette!

The new system is completely based on the current fare with regards to earning and redemption.

The number of points needed for a redemption will be proportional to the value fare price of the trip at the time it's booked. The only reason why they have first or business class listed is that those fares will result in an earning bonus. No other fares will qualify for a routine bonus.
