give us a holler.

I'm new to AGR. On Oct. 12, thought I'd email them a couple of questions through the new website. I could get the answers, and also get an idea of how AGR is able to respond to Amtrak customers. The email robo-reply said I would have an answer in 48 hours.
Today, Oct. 18, I got the replies. Neither tried to answer my question, and both directed me to call customer service.

Yeah, the only email replies I've ever gotten from AGR have been the same... "please call." Meanwhile, you've already called because you waited so long and got no reply to your email, and the phone reps did absolutely nothing for you except convey their regret that they couldn't help you.

Welcome to the wonderful world of AGR.

I sent an e-mail requesting missing promo points, getting back "No my job, man! Call a phone rep!"

I must say the phone rep took my information, and actually called me back a few days later to report, rather ambiguously, that I would have to wait a few weeks for my points to post (after agreeing I was entitled to them). I couldn't understand his English very well, and asked for a supervisor. The rep put me on hold for a few minutes, coming back to say the points were now in my account. ^

As a rule, I never use the "Contact Us" section of any website if I need information, or a question answered about my account.

Plain and simple, it just doesn't work.

I laugh to myself as I wonder whether e-mails are still going to the former AGR contractor. Given how the in-house transition has been going, I wouldn't be all that surprised...
