Amtrak Credit Card Points Calculators
Amtrak offers two co-branded credit cards that earn Amtrak Guest Rewards points on everyday purchases. Both credit cards are solid options if you frequently ride Amtrak as they offer a great return on spend and a handful of useful benefits.
Use our Amtrak Credit Card Points Calculators to determine how many Amtrak points you can earn on your monthly spending and to calculate the overall cash value of the card based on points earned, card benefits, and annual fees. Compare results side-by-side other cards featured on the site.

Buying Amtrak Points
Amtrak points can be purchased directly through the Amtrak Buy points page. Buying points will cost you 3.77 cents each starting at 500 points for $18.85. This is a very high pricing point, so I only recommend buying Amtrak points if you're a few points shy of a redemption and need to top off your account.
