I have been getting a lot of contradictory information about this on the net, figure out this would be the best place to ask- is there any airline as of today (Jan 2012) whose frequent flier program allows miles to be converted to AGR points and vice versa, or any way to book Amtrak tickets using airline miles?
Possibly off-topic for this forum, but since we are at this, can someone suggest which is the best frequent flier program among the various Star Alliance airlines for a not-so-frequent traveler? I have 27K miles on US Airways but I want to use them up for one free flight once and be done with it and move to a better program. I have a trip coming up that will give me around 15K miles on Star Alliance, so I want to make an account on either United or Continental (or Lufthansa is that's better in any way) and give that FF number to start accumulating points anew. Also I am considering getting one of those credit cards that give 25,000 etc bonus miles on sign-up but can't figure out which airline's/Amtrak's card to take to get the best offers. Anyone using any of these services, please give your opinions.
