I know that this thread will be pure speculation, but with the coming round of airline mergers (including the rumored linkup between Continental and United), does anyone have any guesses/predictions on what that will mean for the Amtrak Guest Rewards program?
Right now, points can be transferred between AGR and Continental OnePass, and a very little-advertised perk for SelectPlus members is the ability to use Continental's airport lounges for free (I haven't yet had the occasion to try this). I wonder if the latter perk would transfer to whoever the surviving carrier is, or if Amtrak would wind up finding another airline to partner with.
Any comments?
