When I selected that option, it shows the miles going into a 'Shopping Cart" and it says that I will receive my miles in the mail once I submit my request. Is that correct? I was thinking I could just online transfer the miles directly to UA Mileage Plus. Did I overlook something in the threads on how to transfer these directly into one's UA account? Thanks for any input/advise.
It is funny that Amtrak has not fixed this misleading info (has been there for years!). Just redeem your Amtrak miles on United and they will show up in your United account in less than a week. You will very likely also get a paper letter about this but your miles will probably hit your United account before you get the letter.
