It should all work. You'll basically get 3 Choice Privileges points per SPG point. But step 2 is restricted to:
- Members with current Amtrak Guest Rewards Select or Select Plus status, or
- Cardholders of the Amtrak Guest Rewards® MasterCard® issued by Chase Bank with an Amtrak travel spend on the card of over $200 per calendar year.

Do SPG-AGR transfers give the 25% bonus?

When I called to transfer points today I was informed that:
- the minimum transfer to Amtrak is 5,000 points
- all transfers must be multiples of 5,000 points
This information doesn't appear on SPG's page for Amtrak transfers.
