Thanks for the info! This web site is great for helping others get extra miles! I just signed up. Didn't even take 5 minutes. I know I'll get some additional miles out of this promotion.
Honu, forgive me I know I asked once, but I don't know where or when the string was. Was it you in the Admirals lounge at LHR on Dec 24 en route to ORD? If it ws, I spoke to you at the desk. I am sure that you have answered once so I apologise in advance!

In a way yes, DC has the 20% off thing with their lists of resturants, however they do not offer $1/10miles, wouldn't it be great to eat at a place where you can get 20% off and then get 10 miles/$1?

Paul,
no, you didn't talk to me at LHR on 12/24 because by then I was home and all done with my 2000 travels. Did you meet someone else who also lives in Kailua and also posts on FT? I wonder who that person could be...
I have just joined this program and let me tell you I had one of the weirdest conversation with the AA dining Rep. First of all, who are these people working for? AA?or the Dining Program, this gentlemen just read from the documents in front of him and I almost fell asleep when he asked me if i want to join or not.
Anyhow, when I registered my DC, he asked me if DC is VI/MA, http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif clearly he is new, then after a moment he said that AA dining doesn't take DC, oh well http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif Good thing I have MA and VI or I would be SOL
Not sure if anyone else had this experience.

Many of the restaurants are actually good, too. Often, I will go out with friends and pay for the entire meal on my credit card and have everyone pay me cash. Doing this a couple weeks ago, I got nearly 5000 miles - and my share of dinner was only about $50. Since I signed up, I have been very proactive about paying for the meals and getting reimbursed.
Really, the program couldn't be easier. You should have no second thoughts about signing up.
I can't find my booklet right now, but you can go to http://www.dalc.com and there should be a searchable restaurant guide there. You can see what's available.

I get conflicting reports that DALC & IDine are the same restaurants/company so be careful going by that list.
If you need an official online directory, here's a link off the United site - same type of program & restaurants.
http://www.ual.com/site/primary/0,10017,1266,00.html
Yes, you can be a member of both programs, however, separate credit cards need to be registered.
The major difference between IDine & Frequent Flyer Dining programs.... IDine charges an annual fee of $50 and you get 20% cash back to your card. You can visit most restaurants as often as you wish.
With the FF dining programs (also owned by IDine but operating separately), you get 10 miles per dollar spent for the same restaurants, and pay no annual fee. One drawback is that you can only get credit for the first visit each calendar month.
FYI, Transmedia & DALC merged into iDine which runs most of airlines dining programs.
Check out my dining page which list most of dining programs.

Well I tried to enrol again. They told me now that I live in England I can't join because I'm foreign. How do you like that. I checked the enrolment details and it says nothing about needing to be a US resident. I'm surprised at their discrimination.

Have been AA "dining" for well over a year and the benefits are great (however, the delay in posting is frustrating, especially the 3X-elite 500 mile bonus) However, in this area (Southern California) I have no problem acquiring at least 2,000 miles a month -- more when I travel, as I seek out participating restaurants.
I've been a member of AAdvantage dining for a long time. I target about 3 or 4 restaurants in the guide, and earn a lot of miles doing it. About twice a year, I'll stumble across one by accident and get 'surprise!' miles in my statement. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
No fees, annual or otherwise. Plenty of restaurants listed in the guide for western Mass. and Conneticut.
Once you are signed up, it could not be easier. Almost like stealing. Because you sign up for (up to) three of your credit cards, you could be at a participating establishment and not even know. I use the guide to target restaurants, but like I say, the miles hit when you use the card at a restaurant that is in the program; you could just happen on one without knowing.
All in all, it is a no-brainer. No traps.
It is early; I hope this is coherent
wow, for some reason I thought you had to pay $49 for this program to get miles... Just goes to show that you learn something new every day here.
Two places on my block participate, but neither of them are any good! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif But, I'll be able to pick up miles here and there when I travel, and you can't beat the price.
Hi, Susie. Welcome to FlyerTalk!
Don't know what you mean by American AAdvantage restaurants. They are restaurants that are listed in the dining guide put out by AAdvantage Dining.
I tried to post a link, but it didn't work. So just go to http://www.aa.com and click on AAdvantage, from there go to AAdvantage Member Guide, then to Earning Miles, then to More Ways to Earn Miles.
