Thanks for the info! ^ This is really rather confusing on their website. If you pay cash and want a sleeper, you have to pay twice, for the coach fare AND the sleeping compartment. I couldn't tell if that was also true for the AGR redemptions, or not -- I tried to find the answer on the AGR site, and couldn't.

This does make it something of a waste to book a sleeping compartment with AGR points if only one person is traveling, though -- at least with cash reservations, you save on the coach fare portion of the trip if just one person stays in a sleeper. Are you allowed to "buy" one coach fare with AGR points, and then pay cash for an upgrade to a sleeper? The route I'm interested in charges only about $100 upgrade from a cash coach fare to a roomette, but going from a coach fare to a roomette would raise the cost in AGR points from 5500 to 15000. If the cash upgrade is only $100, I'd rather save the 9500 AGR points and pay cash for the sleeper.

By the way, how do meals work if you have a sleeper? Are you allowed a set dollar amount per meal, or specific types of items (entree & beverage, maybe?) Also, if just one person stays in a sleeper, are they entitled to two sets of meals? It's not that I'm in the habit of eating two dinners, but I'm a vegetarian and the vegetarian options they have listed don't look particularly filling. (Or I may end up ordering two dinners and just eating the side dishes, if they have no suitable entrees; I generally avoid pasta because I have diabetes.)
