So Amtrak is still looser with TQPs than prior to the pandemic, although not as generous as they were for a while.
I do not have those after mid-June, although only one trip would have qualified for it, but I will call in and ask if they will give that to me if others are getting it, thanks. I did take a ride in a roommette; does anyone knows if that qualifies for a BC bonus?
