Skyteam, as I understand it, they are partnered with Amtrak's Guest Rewards. I am a member of both those programs and that is how I know.
The best strategy is probaly going to be get miles into Amtrak and transfer to United or Continental on a 1/1 basis and I think it is a 5K minimum.
Hope that helps and enjoy the trip!
