No Fee Amtrak Mastercard ---> United or Continental Freq. Flyer Points!

The new no-fee Amtrak Platinum Plus Guest Rewards Mastercard looks really interesting. Apparently you earn 1 Guest Rewards point for every dollar charged (2 points for every charge at Amtrak).

Then, when you have accumulated enough, you can transfer 5000 Amtrak Guest Rewards to either 5000 United Mileage Plus points or 5000 Continental OnePass points.

So, I am going to cancel my Continental One-Pass credit card (as it has an annual fee). In my opinion, this is the best no-annual fee card (Mastercard/Visa) out there that earns miles.

p.s. - If anybody sees any downside to this, please let me know.
