Need 4K Amtrak GR points...best/quickest way?

Hi, I booked the Coast Starlight with UR points before the program change. Now (of course!) I need to change the date and Amtrak wants 10% of the point value of trip to change it. Well of course, I don't have any points...as I transferred in what was needed for the trip only. I should have anticipated this and transferred in an extra 5K. sigh.

So, I found 1K sitting in my daughter's account which would expire soon and transferred those in for $10, but need about 3500 more. I can buy them, but even with the current deal(?) that still seems pretty steep. If I buy something that earns points - how quickly do they post?

Anyone transfer SPG to AGR? How quickly do those post? UPDATE: Requested transfer on a Thursday - points in AGR account Friday morning.
