Cheers.
FYI:

"Redeem Points for Lounge Passes

"Enhance your next trip with a visit to an Amtrak lounge. Redeem for a Single-Visit Lounge Pass for only 1,500 points."

Since you will earn AGR points on your Westbound trip, you might consider redeeming some of them for a Metropolitan Lounge day pass and/or for your CHI-HOM coach ticket.
