and a few others I cannot recall at this minute.

These all should be made aware of your findings on the fact that Amtrak has chosen to give LITTLE OR NO notice to such changes!

Surely that is against the "ethics" of mile programs!

While they SAY they can change at any time, they mostly give at least 6 months to give people a chance to do a transition. Sounds like you gotta scramble to get anywhere now!

Tell these site managers about it please. You know the facts, but I do not.

hope this helps. I do not intend to downplay or highlight any site in particular--they are all good, but they are far better at this stuff than I and can spread the word to possibly even help prevent the problem!!!
