Using the cash value of a suite of $600, you get a more traditional 2 cents a point, which seems to be the approximate value of most of the Amtrak travel rewards.

I've been thinking about transferring some CO miles to redeem for this award. Thanks for the info, as it looks like a great way to redeem CO miles.

I think it's funny that I get CO miles for my Acela travel and now will transfer those miles back to Amtrak for redemption.
For 20,000 points you can get a $400+ round trip Acela BOS-WAS which I think allows stops in NYC/Philadelphia.
