Per VIA: Modification of the rules related to the accumulation of VIA Préférence points for reservations made with a VIA Rail pass by a CN or CP retiree/their spouse or dependents VIA Rail has standardized the rules related to points accumulation and tier qualification for all bookings made with a VIA Rail pass, so that they are aligned with the program’s general terms and conditions. This change was made as of April 3, 2025, and points accumulation and tier qualification rules for CN and CP retirees rail passes are as follows: Members who travel with a pass will earn points only when they pay a surcharge. The amount of the surcharge will be used to calculate the number of points to be credited. The amount paid for a surcharge during a given qualification period will be used to determine the member’s tier level. Impacted passes (Pass codes - Passholders): GB - CN active employees, their spouse and dependents GT - Grand Trunk employee, their spouse and dependents HB - CN retirees at the time of issuance, their spouse and dependents MB - CP retiree, spouse & dependents
