Amtrak and SSI announced a new program called Survey Points Club to help members of the Amtrak Guest Rewards® loyalty program easily earn more points. This combination of a national rail transportation service provider like Amtrak and a survey research and data management company like SSI has resulted in the creation of a truly unique loyalty program earning opportunity for Amtrak Guest Rewards members.
With its national presence, Amtrak provides SSI and its clients access to travelers who range from executive-level business professionals, always-on-the-go consultants, hard-to-reach influencers and lobbyists, to customers who enjoy seeing America from a truly unique perspective that only Amtrak can provide.
Amtrak Guest Rewards members who enroll with Survey Points Club (https://www.surveypointsclub.com/) will earn Amtrak Guest Rewards points by participating in surveys and sharing their opinions. These points will be directly deposited into members’ accounts. There is no fee for signing up. Amtrak Guest Rewards points can be redeemed for rail travel, entertainment, car rentals, hotels, cruising, dining, retail or gift cards.
“Amtrak is always looking for ways to enhance member engagement,” said Vicky Radke, senior director of Amtrak Guest Rewards. “SSI’s Survey Points Club program will deliver a new way for members to earn points and add value to our loyalty program.”
