Are You All Aboard for the BoA 30k Amtrak Offer?

July 17, 2018 By Nancy 9 Comments

As an example, I priced out two adults and two kids from Chicago to Dallas over Thanksgiving week in two roomettes (sleeping compartments for two). The cash price is $676, and the points price is 23,322. Keep in mind that meals in the dining car are included with sleeping compartments. If we skipped the sleeping compartments, we would only need 13,662 points.

As first reported by Doctor of Credit, the Bank of America Amtrak Guest Rewards World Mastercard now offers 30k Amtrak bonus points. Normally, the credit card comes with 20k bonus points, but it has been as high as 30k Amtrak points before.   The 30k Amtrak Offer Let’s look at the details of this card […]
