I guess I'll see whether the points post or not on Monday and then will buy either 1,000 or 5,000 (there's a 30% bonus currently, so that would net me 6,500). The latter would cost $137.50 but that's still quite a lot less than $216, and they take "up to 72 hours to post" so at the very worst, we're talking Thursday, and hopefully I can book something at the last minute.

I could have done this whole thing way better, but at least I guess I learned quite a bit about the Amtrak option in this part of the country, which was probably useful information to pick up at some point.

It's probably time to start drinking. :rolleyes:

I buy Amtrak points all the time and they never take more than 24 hours to post, in my experience.

One reason (of many) why Houston is one of the fattest places in the country. Is Nashville a "fat" city? Why do you refuse to purchase Pepsi?

What did you do to your tail lights? My wife's Civic is bone stock, save for an aftermarket Ipod adapter that I connected directly her stock radio.

Declaring your own penalty is a penalty. Another drink for you.

I don't know about BNA as a "fat" city but:

A. Don't like Pepsi
B. Berkshire-Hathaway shareholder
C. KO shareholder
D. Employer has a contract where Coke is forbidden using agency funds

:confused: I traditionally put a fifth of Woodford in the trunk (as two of the mods can affirm).

Non-Woodford drinker question: doesn't the heat in the trunk affect the flavor at all?
