Booking Hotels thru Amtrak?

[dlagrua]

I notice that Amtrak has a site or related sight for booking hotels and car rentals. On one reservation to The Spinghill Suites In Springdale UT that I checked they are offering 7000 pts for a three night booking BUT they require you to pay in advance but with cancellation privileges. My question is that if we book through the Amtrak site and use the FNBO Amtrak Mastercard do we get both the 7000 pts and the additional 2 pts per dollar spent for travel on the card as well?

That would depend on how the CC registers the purchase. I could see it going as either 2 points (if it registers as a hotel purchase) or 1 point (if it registers as...something different).

In most cases, you only get the benefits of a hotel chain's elite program if you book directly through official channels -- so you would probably not get those 7,000 Bonvoy points if you booked through Amtrak's hotel site.

Amtrak has discontinued its hotel and car rental points program. Does any one recall when this occurred?
