I keep checking to see if my price has gone up or down and I just looked and for going to San Antonio on December 26th the bedrooms are sold out. Now you can get a bedroom going north on December 31rst.
I'm just taking a guess here, but Gingee said "going north" from SAS. I'm going to guess the TE, since the SL goes east/west!Which train, as SAS is served by both the Texas Eagle and Sunset Limited? I'm guessing by saying you are looking north it is the Texas Eagle.....
I think Gingee lives near CHI, maybe in Indiana. So it's probably the TE. What I don't understand is the "going to SAS" then "bedroom going north" when the TE heads south going to SAS.I keep checking to see if my price has gone up or down and I just looked and for going to San Antonio on December 26th the bedrooms are sold out.

Unless you're the_traveler. :giggle:If you go south, most times you have to return north after the trip to return home!

Wow, how do you get some much AGR? Points runs?I have when I PAID for the trip! But if AGR, never! :giggle:
By charging everything (and more) on the AGR MasterCard, I earn a free trip each year just by buying things I normally would - like buying food, gas and clothing!Wow, how do you get some much AGR? Points runs?I have when I PAID for the trip! But if AGR, never! :giggle:

That little Card is quite a gem and add in some paid trips, AGR Points purchases during Bonus times and other Bonuses such as Triple Point Rent Cars and those Points stack up fast!
I had one, but after a few months of paying the bill on time every month, Chase pretended they hadn't received my payment. Which is fraud on their part, but a very popular type of fraud among credit card companies (see, they don't make any money if you pay your bills on time). After a round of certified mail getting them to refund the illegal late fees they'd applied, I decided I didn't ever want to do business with Chase again. It would be nice if Amtrak picked a partner for its credit card which wasn't a criminal operation.By charging everything (and more) on the AGR MasterCard, I earn a free trip each year just by buying things I normally would - like buying food, gas and clothing!
I'll totally second this. I've never, not once, in the three years of having an AGR MasterCard from Chase paid a cent of interest on my end. I've earned over 90,000 points, through those everyday purchases as well as Amtrak double-point purchases and bonuses, using the card. As long as you are diligent and check your account often (I'm on mine at least once every other day to monitor for fraud; habit of mine) and pay your bill in full, there are few other options out there that pay you dividends as nicely as AGR.I never mail a check to them. There is a little clickable link on the site that says "Pay Bill". With that, the payment posts to your CC account the same day as the payment "click", and you also have 2 receipts of the payment being made, one from Chase and one from your bank! I've never had a problem.
Also by checking online, you can (if you want) pay a head of time. I just paid my bill to -0-, even though the statement doesn't close until 12/10/12!
I agree. I don't want to waste any money.While you're right that online payment eliminates that type of fraud, there's a second type of risk with online payment, which is fraudulent additional transactions due to account number theft. Some day your bank account will be cleaned out. Make sure you keep a full set of paper records for when that happens. Actually, everyone should do this, because banks are really sloppy with account numbers and authorizations period.
Yes, I'm paranoid about financial stuff. I have good reason to be. May you neve have good reason to be.
