The tickets have to be collected by a conductor - and be submitted for processing - before you get the AGR points. And I highly doubt that many will collect a number of your tickets (some might). I think they value their job more than you getting a few more AGR points!

And besides, they changed the rules a couple of years ago, that you can not earn additional points for the same train #. So your 1st $2 ticket would earn the 100 point minimum - but tickets #2-50 would earn -0- points!
