For those who haven't done any transfers yet, you can still get 50,000 out pretty quickly, because as mentioned the limit is calendar year.
And for those who actually ride Amtrak, the limit per year is 50,000 for Amtrak Select members.
Still, not a very "nice" move on Amtrak's part, even though I assume they reserved the right to change program rules at any time without notice.
