You'll get the best value out of your Amtrak Guest Rewards Points when you redeem them for award rail travel with Amtrak which will give you a value of at least 2 cents per point minimum. I actually could not find any travel that gave me less than 2 cents per point.
As an example, look at this Amtrak travel between Tampa and Atlanta.
These redemptions offer values of 2.7-2.8 cents per point which is magnificent.
Redeeming point for gift cards
You can redeem your Amtrak Guest Rewards Points for gift cards will give you up to 1 cent in value per point. $50 gift cards offer a value of 0.83 cents per Amtrak Point while $100+ gift cards offer 1 cent in value.
Obviously this isn't the best redemption since you can get double to triple the value when redeeming points for award rail travel, but it's still a decent redemption as long as you get at least a $100 denomination gift card.
