Where is the detailed information on this program?
 
For a new comer to AGR it is hard to figure out how things work. Say I travel regularly between Ann Arbor, MI and Chicago, IL on the Wolverine:

http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/Conten.../1237405732511

How many points are needed to get a one way or round trip ticket? As far as I can tell, it is not possible to figure this out on either the AGR website or amtrak.com when having 0 points. I'm trying to determine if transferring 30,000 points from Continental is worth it thus the question when having 0 points.

Thanks!

Welcome to FlyerTalk!

Even when I'm not logged in, I can see the info on http://www.amtrakguestrewards.com/redeem...but it's not particularly obvious.

The Wolverine is considered a "Special Route," so a one-way coach trip is 1,000 points, and a one-way business-class trip is 1,500 points. (That's true of any two endpoints on the route.)

Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. I could see those offers but not how to figure out what type of route the Wolverine was on and if it crossed multiple zones. Is it possible to see these things on the website?

That's what I meant by "not particularly obvious" -- the list of Special Routes is in the fine print you see when you click on any of the "Show More" links on the "redeem" page...

Special Routes include the following: Blue Water®, Wolverine®, Cascades®, Pacific Surfliner®, Capitol Corridor®, San Joaquin®, Hiawatha®, Downeaster®, The Lincoln Service®, Illini Service®, The Carl Sandburg®, Missouri River Runner, The Illinois Zephyr®, The Saluki®, The Hoosier State®, The Pere Marquette®, The Piedmont®, and The Heartland Flyer®.
Since the Wolverine is a Special Route, the number of zones it crosses is irrelevant.
