You are limited to 25,000 points per calendar year. That's a limit that they enforce pretty strictly.
Where do you want your AGR points to go?
I'm actually going to convert to Choice Privileges points which was the original plan: Continental One Pass ---> Amtrak ---> Choice Hotels. It was an even better conversion rate before when 5,000 AGR points converted to 25,000 Choice Privileges points (now 15,000 points), but a lot of devaluation is going on across the board.
