Take care and take trains!

Nothing still for me either from the 16th, 17th, or 18th. I understand data processing, but strange that for the holiday Monday (the 19th) I did get my points -- one would think that processing for the entire weekend would not take place until Tuesday, the next regular business day.

I traveled on the 15th on the Silver Star and with the group on the 17th. Neither of those trips posted. My return from WAS-ORL on the Silver Star on the 19th posted.

Since it happened to all of us Friday through Sunday, it is reasonable to assume we are not the only ones. There is some big electronic pile of un-credited trips sitting somewhere.
Thursday through Sunday, since Penny's trip from Florida originated on the 15th. Safe to assume her e-ticket was scanned before midnight!

There has been a little bit of chatter about this issue at Flyertalk (Alan and I were part of the chatter). Sometimes the person at AGR who follows FT posts when issues like this arise, but nothing has been posted yet.
There are, on average, about 85,000 amtrak passengers a day. If just 10% have AGR (probably low), that is 8500 missing trips for each day, or about 35 thousand missing trips for the four days. That's a lot of phone calls. Sounds like a world class FUBAR to me.

I for one am too busy and important to sit on a call queue all day and for multiple days because of somebody else's oversight or mistake. If I were to do it, I'd wait until the last of the days and make the complaint for all missing points at once. One would hope and expect that the phone operators at AGR know by now that thousands of people didn't get their points over that weekend and should be prepared for the onslaught. Of course we don't know that everyone affected has been closely monitoring their balances as much as we have.

I filled out the on-line form last night for my 1/15/15 trip. I have not received a response.
