I think you can only transfer CO miles (perhaps Midwest, too) into Amtrak.

I'd suggest you try the Coupon Connection- given how many people are frustrated with redeeming on CO, there may be willing traders for UA, AA or DL awards.

415,000 HHonors points gets you a RT on the AutoTrain for 2, including a deluxe bedroom.

Added: Award Code 2VAT2.

Agree. But the OP asked for "Any way", not necessarily a cheap way...
