Chase Amtrak card offers 12k points for $500 spend.

If anyone knows how i can transfer my Amtrak points to Hilton, please let me know.

If you're a frequent Amtrak traveler, the Chase AGR card is the way to go. 12,000 point bonus for spending $500 in the first 3 months, and your points will never expire (if you're an AGR member with no AGR credit card your points expire after 3 years of your last paid trip). You also receive a 5% point rebate every time you redeem your AGR points for travel. Those benefits alone make having the card worth it for frequent Amtrak travelers, even if you don't use it after the bonus spend. 

If you book Amtrak travel using the Chase AGR card, you get four points for every dollar spent.

It looks like 5,000 AGR points transfer to 10,000 HHonors Points. You have to call: 1-800-307-5000 to transfer.

Yeah, but you need to spend $200 on Amtrak before you can transfer. I only got the card for transferring points. I wasn't aware that i had to buy Amtrak stuff.
