2. Buy an Amtrack ticket for several months out that is $200+ and refundable
3. Wait for Chase statement to close AND to see that statement's points have posted to your Amtrak account
4. Call Amtrack and initiate transfer (only took 2 days for mine to post to CO)
5. After transfer is complete cancel ticket
Thanks for the complete details. I was going to send AGR Insider an email regarding the loophole they need to fix, and this will save me some typing.
