Amtrak Guest Rewards is having another points sale! They sent me an email earlier today.
The good news is that the points are on sale.
The bad news is that unless you buy enough to get good percentage bonus, you won't be getting the supposedly-standard-except-for-Acela rate of 34.5 points per dollar. In short, divide the number of points by dollars spent to figure out what your 'rate of return' is. But then, if you're thinking about booking a 70,000 point vacation and only have 25,000 points right now, this would be a good way to get your vacation sooner rather than later.
