2003 Select Program
Received my 2003 Select pack. 2 upgrades were included, as well as my new membership card.
Instead of 5 lounge access passes, I was given a complimentary membership. My Select membership card has "ClubAcela" stamped on it. The letter that came with the pack seemed to indicate that the Club membership was for the 'top' travellers. I racked up 24,000 points last year on weekly PHL-NYP roundtrips, where points were based on ticket value as opposed to the 500 points one gets for DC-NY or NY-BOS trips.

Definitely not the case. You get 500 points for standard Acela Express(i.e. Business), and 750 points for Acela First on specific city pairs. All my PHL-NYP trips have only given me 2x the dollars spent, plus the 25% Select bonus.
