Our Verdict
Nice bonus for Amtrak users. The card launched with FNBO last October with a 30,000 bonus, and this is a nice bump to 40,000. There’s some speculation that dummy bookings – which historically have been throwing in $100 – will show 40,000 + $100 soon. Dummy booking has never shown another $100 statement credit so not worth waiting if interested. You can view more about Amtrak points and their value here.
