Barclay’s Bin wine sale site will give you 100 Amtrak Guest Rewards points for signing up.
All that’s required is a name, email address, Amtrak account number, and making up a password.
They give you $10 towards your first purchase as well, but no purchase is required for the points.

Thanks, Gary – I don’t travel on Amtrak that often so the perk for me here isn’t the points, but rather the ability to extend out the expiration… they do expire… right? I never checked…
+1 on keeping my Amtrak points alive. Thanks
Amtrak points do expire but technically i believe only train travel or credit card earn extends life of these points
From their FAQ:
“Amtrak Guest Rewards points expire 36 months after your last paid Amtrak trip. Redemption travel reserved with points does not constitute paid travel. While a cardholder of the Amtrak Guest Rewards® MasterCard® from Chase® with an open account, your points will not expire.”
Thanks! Always good to have points! I may order some wine. I am not worried about expiration as I hold their MasterCard. I got it during one of their periodic offers with 32,000 bonus for signup, planning to redeem for a sleeper car award at some point.
Whoops I meant 36,000 not 32,000.
