Our Verdict
Standard bonus is 20,000 points but we’ve seen 30,000 points and 20,000 + $100 before as well. So this bonus is by far the best we’ve seen. In terms of the value of Amtrak points they are as follows:
- Non-Acela tickets points are worth 2.9¢ each
- Acela tickets points are worth 2.56¢ cent
More information about Amtrak and point valuations can be found here. This can be a valuable bonus for those that take advantage of/enjoy train travel. I will be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses. If you have any questions about Bank of America credit cards I’d recommend reading this post first.
