Greetings, oh wise ones! I'm up late scheming about how to cash in some AGR points and credit card points to fund a trip up to the Northwest next spring. My high school junior wants to visit some colleges in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. Perfect, since I really want to see that great land from a train window again!
Availability of trains is certainly no problem, and the timing looks good. Between my 850 AGR points and 30,000 Chase card points, which transfer with Amtrak 1:1, I have enough for the trip, I think. But here's the question: when Guest Rewards charges 15,000 points for one zone's travel, does that include sleepers for the two nights required, on the CZ and the CS? And will my daughter, sharing the roomette, pay just the coach charge of 5,500 points, or more?
I hope that's the case. Can't find anything that says differently in the posted rules, but surely some of you know from experience.
