Did any Select/+ Member Get Extra Upgrade/Companion Coupons this Summer?
In past summers, Amtrak has offered additional free upgrade and/or companion certs to Select Plus (and maybe Select) members. I haven't received an offer this summer, although I'm not a truly hi-rev customer.
Has anyone gotten such extra certs this summer, or just the 4 upgrade and 2 companion certs in the original package, back in February?

Nothing here, and I always got the extra goodies in previous summers, usually in July IIRC. I had actually forgotten about those pleasant surprises till you just brought up their absence this year!

I think I'll call AGR about the coupons, just in case they got misplaced in the mail. Others may want to do the same.

S+ this year, will re-qualify next yr (less of a FormerAmtrakTraveler than I want), didn't get anything this summer.
S+ last year, got something last year.
S+ year before that, got something that year too.
Being penalized for being S+ this year!??! That's wrong.

Do you only need 5k points to requal for S+? (I just hit S+ this year, for the first time.)

FormerAmtrakTraveler is correct. As a 2010 S+ you'll requal at the same levels as everyone else for 2011. So in 2010 when you clear 5K you'll earn S for 2011 and when you clear 10K you'll earn S+ for 2011.

I'm an S+ and am now just 68 points away from requalifying for 2010. Been S+ since the level was started and this is the first time that I have not received any extra upgrade coupons during the year. Glad that others got them, but would love to get a few more myself.

Sounds like an uncaught bug of some form. Surely their intent is not to penalize S+. Going to write in and see what's up.
