Not even sure they will do a match, but they probably do.
Well, it doesn't take much to get it and getting those extra 20 days to book might be useful. They said they'd do it. Now I just need my $200 spend on an Amtrak card to process so that I can transfer the points.
Depending on your time frame, you might be better off just getting the Barclay credit card. There's usually a bonus associated with it, and you are Gold elite for as long as you have the card. No annual fee, either.
Done. Kind of a screwy bonus requirement but on an annual fee-free card I'll live with it.
