Posting of miles for Amtrak travel
Generally how long should this take? I travelled two weeks ago and the miles haven't posted. Is this normal or should I be checking.

I'm now crediting my Acela segments to my Amtrak Guest Rewards account and I've noticed that my segments posted with the following lag:
13 days
6 days
9 days
6 days
10 days

This Acela trip was my last 1K miles to post to OP to get Gold for next year.
So, I guess I am waiting 2 weeks.

Miles posted from Amtrak for trip taken on 11/20 and 11/21 on Acela Business Class ticket from NY Penn to Boston South Station.
Miles posted yesterday, 11/30; so 9 days.
And it was a AAA discounted ticket.

On a straight mileage basis, you have to compare the bonus miles you get for your elite tier on CO vs Amtrak. I get more bonus miles on CO, except during Amtrak promotions.

Also, I bought the tickets on the Amtrak Website; then called USA-RAIL to add my OP number.
These are all questions *I* asked, so I figured I would answer them on experience.

Does anyone know if these same timelines (two weeks for miles to post to CO, give or take) applies to Amtrak segments which are CO-coded? I flew LAX-ZFV via EWR about three weeks ago -- all ticketed through Continental -- and while the flight segments have posted, the train segment has not yet appeared in my OnePass account.

Same here -- I've had problems with this for some time. I've basically given up on getting these posted. I wasn't so lax about it when it was 500 miles and 1 segment but since they changed the rules it's really not worth my time to complain.
