Mine's in process. Transferred 10,000 orphaned CO miles of my own, and 15,000 of my wife's to my new Amtrak account. That took 2 days to post. Then went online and got the same message for the total 25,000 as Lulu - that my (5) certificates for 5000 miles will ship in 2 to 4 weeks. Sounds like it should go electronically, but if not, will keep you posted.

That said - I agree that some of the rail awards are good values for the points...but by doing this, I've just salvaged the 12,000 orphaned UA miles I have also - so 12000 UA of my own + 10000 CO of my own + 15000 of my wife's = 37000 UA miles - I only need 3000 more for a free 1st class in the US (May, BWI - LAS) - I really only need the 3000, but I might just buy the 5000 from my wife ($50) who has nearly 50,000, since after we redeem her 40,000 she'll again have orphan miles...or I work with guys with orphaned miles so maybe they'll send them to me for a "deep discount" in 2004 after I can transfer another 25,000...

Thanks for the info! It has really seemed to work!
