Quick/Cheap Way To Get 500 Points?
Hi Folks,
I'm 500 points short of an Acela F redemption, and was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for picking up 500 quick points without doing any traveling?
Might do the wine club thing if no one has a better suggestion.
Thanks in advance.

It might take a while for the points to post but refer a friend to the AGR program and make sure he travels ASAP. Depending on where your friend lives he/she can get a ticket for as less as $5.
You could also use the AGR shopping mall to get points from a multitude of vendors but this is notoriously unreliable and it might take months of arguing with customer support to get your points.

Not as quick and maybe not as cheap, but if you like to ride trains, AGR is having a triple point promotion from May 7 to May 21. You could book and el-cheapo round trip and earn 600 points.
