So if you haven't booked Amtrak as per above, do they go back to your airline frequent flyer account and debit all the 5,000 point transfers?</font>
This seems unlikely. In fact, if you've transferred miles to an airline, they become the airline's miles. But in the big picture, if you aren't going to take an Amtrak trip once every three years, you probably don't want the Amtrak credit card.
