I'm curious about using my Amtrak Guest Rewards points for a sleeper reward. I currently have about 27,000 AGR points, and I'm saving up to 35,000 for a three-zone sleeper reward.
Can I book any train to get from point A to point B, provided I don't backtrack. Or, must I choose the fastest way?
The reason I ask, is becuase ideally I would like to travel across country from NYP to SEA. The fastest way would be NYP-CHI and then the Empire Builder (CHI-SEA). I would much rather, however, go NYP-Orlando(Silver Service)-LAX (Sunset Ltd.)-SEA(Coast Starlight).
Any thoughts, or experience, on redeeming AGR points for sleeper rewards?
