Programs tend to sell points at a price far more expensive than the value they can deliver when you redeem them. If there isn't a bonus or discount available, you'd be better off keeping your wallet tucked away and building your balance using organic methods.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are a couple of scenarios in which buying points and miles makes sense. For example, grabbing the few remaining points can be quick and easy if you're just on the edge of having enough points for a sweet redemption. Moreover, if you have your heart set on booking a premium cabin, buying enough points for a redemption can sometimes be cheaper than paying the cash rate.<\/p>\n<p>While a promotional bonus or discount will always be cheaper than paying the base price, you shouldn't necessarily buy points just because there is a promotion on offer. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/current-promotions-buy-points-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Discounts and bonuses for buying points<\/a> are constantly changing, so it's possible that a future promotion will provide better value than the current one.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Amtrak_Buy_Points_History\">Amtrak Buy Points History<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Amtrak only recently began selling points with a promotion. Points typically cost 3.77\u00a2 apiece, but these promotions can slightly drop that rate.<\/p>\n<p>This current promotion matches the best rate Amtrak has ever sold its points for. So, if you're in need of some points, it's an opportune time to make a purchase.<\/p>\n<p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-912\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-912 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Promotion Ended<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Max Bonus<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Min Cents per Point<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2026-02-28<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">50% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.51<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2025-11-10<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">40% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2025-09-18<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">50% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.51<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2025-08-07<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">35% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.79<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2025-05-30<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">30% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2025-02-17<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">50% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.51<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2024-12-31<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">40% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2024-10-31<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">30% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2024-08-30<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">50% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.51<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2024-06-30<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">50% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.51<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2024-05-08<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">30% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2024-02-29<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">30% Bonus<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Buy_Amtrak_Points_With_the_Right_Credit_Card\">Buy Amtrak Points With the Right Credit Card<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like many other loyalty programs, Amtrak partners with Points.com to sell points.
