Applied and was instantly approved for the World card just now. I was thinking I'd do the Platinum to avoid the annual fee, but then I figured that 8K points plus a companion fare is definitely worth at least $79 (in the NEC), so I went for the fee card. Getting to $1K spend in three months will be very simple. I'll probably cancel after the first year, though. I wouldn't prioritize spending on this card just to pile up AGR points--it's a lot more impactful for me to concentrate my spend on more flexible cards like Chase Sapphire or Amex Gold, even if they don't allow transfers to AGR. By the end of 2016, my AGR account balance will probably just drop to near zero and stay there, given that I no longer take Amtrak for work.
