Good luck it takes time and good credit scores to get all the goodies out there. I know this doesn't answer your Amtrack question but heads you in the right direction to build a good credit score.
+1. You guys need to focus on building your credit since most reward cards require excellent scores and established reports. There's no way Amex or Chase will start you out with a CSP or SPG. What banks will be looking for is revolving debt history (CC's, LOC, etc.). Work on building that for 12 months or so and then you can start to expand your portfolio if this is something you're interested in.
