US Airways 2011 Grand Slam Promotion - Dividend Miles Dining

Dividend Miles Dining (http://usairways.rewardsnetwork.com/)

Let's list here the restaurants with

cheap food
delivery
credit card payment


That's was last year an easy hit which could be done from home without being involved. I remember that I had some deliveries from Baluchis (or something like that) in New York to the shelters.

Cannot find the restaurant chain anymore this year

Burger King in the South NJ/Philadelphia area

I'm headed to Fudruckers for a coke to go!

Just one qualified purchase does it? Or do you need to do the two separate meals for $25 to get the 1000 miles?

Thanks in advance!

-S

It is two. For one , you get 500 miles. You also have to do a review of the restaurant.

I enrolled in dividend dining. Paid $39 for meal at restaurant yesterday. Will do review and then one more dine for $25 or more and review for 1000 miles

1000 miles bonus is for new enrollee only

Search for: 240 W 56TH ST, NEW YORK, NY, 10025

good boy, max, i can see that you sponsored to the address which i published last year.

did they really accept your order? which baluchis did you use? i ordered several times last year but they always cancelled when i used my european credit cards

This is sister Nancy, please stop sending me the Spicy Chicken Curry!

J/K, this is a great idea!

did they really accept your order? which baluchis did you use? i ordered several times last year but they always cancelled when i used my european credit cards

I used the one on 53rd street and it would be good 3 times last year with my LH Mastercard (german billingaddress)

I just did an order today at 12.30 with Visa - keep you informed

why do you write such a nonsense? does burger king deliver? did you write the address/link to the restaurant? you'd better write nothing at all
Perhaps you should review, reword, and clarify your first post and enhance the thread title. Your question isn't immediately clear.

The thread title is broad, but the first post is really only concerned with how to get a cheap hit without actually showing up in person at the restaurant.

kvs25 listed a collection of restaurants which are cheap without understanding that your question is about which restaurants satisfy all three of your bullet points.

I am quite certain that the third bullet point is satisfied by all DM Dining restaurants. It sounds as if you really mean to ask about which ones accept foreign credit cards.

I used Dividend Miles mall to link to go to restaurant.com, then purchased the cheapest gift certificate they had ($10) for a local restaurant that is on the Dividend Miles Dining program. With the current code "NEW", it only cost me $2.50 (but that's 27 miles at 11 miles/dollar).

I have to spend a minimum of $20 at this little burger/sports bar joint (so I'm looking at a minimum of $12.50 out of pocket + tip), but I'll use my linked Dividend Miles Dining credit card to pay for the difference between the gift cert and minimum spend + the tip.

Unless I'm missing something, I think that I just "doubled into the left-center field gap" - 1 hit for Dividend Miles dining (once I go) + 1 hit for Dividend Miles mall purchase, right?

You could have quadrupled by paying for the restaurant.com purchase and the restaurant purchase with any two of the five hit options for payment methods :)

Wish I could, but I don't have US Air credit card.

Just opened acct at B of A today to get the debit card, so I'll be able to get only 1 hit out of the 5 card options (but at least I'll get the 3,000 mile bonus that comes with 1st debit card transaction!).

just to make sure, there are no mins for the hit right?

"Hi,

There have been a number of these strange orders going through today and someone needs to call me and let me know what is going on, as the restaurant is getting concerned about the orders and all the different credit cards. You can still remain anonymous to the shelter, but we need to be assured the restaurant is not going to find out later that the credit cards were lost or stolen. Please call me ASAP at xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Customer Service.
Regards,
Debbie"

Wow, I wonder how many orders they're getting. I hope you did call back and explain.

I suppose they're worried that some "Robin Hood" has stolen a bunch of credit cards and is using them for homeless donations, and they'd be stuck for the bad charges.

People also might consider spacing out the orders, rather than doing them all in the first or last few days of the promotion.

Finally, if there actually is a decent DM Dining restaurant in your area, you can just go there -- that's what I'm doing.

Robin Zurich Flyer. Same story every year. Sister Nancy sent me already an email, asking me what's going on. I explained her that the same thing as last year is going on. God bless the homeless :D

This is my first Grand Slam and I'm just curious - how did FTers pick this charity, and did they / Sister Nancy actually seem grateful for the food that showed up? I told my husband about this idea since we don't have any good dining options near us, and he made the point that it might be a rather awkward thing for a charity to get 1 single meal and then have to decide who to give it to... Not hating on the idea - it's brilliant - but just curious how the charity feels about it.

Perhaps the charity and the restaurant will work together so that the orders are batched together for less frequent but larger deliveries.

I always gift them 5 cans of drinks for $10. They are storable and can rest longer for all they needed

She felt there was an error when I started sending them food last year. But now they seem to be happy. I advice you to call ahead and inform the Sister. Send her also greetings from Zurich Flyer @:-)

I joined US Airways dining program a while back and have already earned points, etc. Can I still get a hit from dining with them, or is the hit only for new members? Thanks.

I joined US Airways dining program a while back and have already earned points, etc. Can I still get a hit from dining with themYes, without a doubt.

I just did a search for Balushis and it's no longer listed. I also tried looking by address and no go. Am I missing something or did RN drop it quickly?

BTW, I think this is a brilliant idea as long as people send over things that can be practical (like the drinks). I also hope the restaurant and the shelter work together so maybe all orders come in at the same time. I do hope the restaurant actually does fill the orders and not just pocket the money.

I do have dining establishments nearby, but one is an AWFUL KFC (if you want good fried chicken don't go to Laguna Beach). I also have another one as well that I like but I get tired of it. Plus this is easy.

If I search for ZIP 10019 and go down the list on the 1st site it still appears (maybe the 2nd site).

I found it as well.... but it felt a little strange to place an order from the Balushis website without any link to Dividend Miles Dining.
Is there an automated match based on the credit card you have used for the order?

You have to use the credit card(s) you registered with DM Dining, and behind the scenes when the charge goes from the restaurant to their credit card processor, DM Dining will match up the transaction.

Let's hope that works.... well at least some more food for Sister Nancy :-).

If I search for ZIP 10019 and go down the list on the 1st site it still appears (maybe the 2nd site).

Thanks. I didn't have the strength to search last night. I was doing it the lazy way. I tried restaurant name and address. Neither worked.

If anyone is looking at another option, you might try using a pizza place and have the order sent over to the local Fire Department "with compliments for a job well done." This is not as easy as what people are doing here, but it is another good idea. Just find a pizza place that delivers. You may need a US card for this and may need to make a phone call.

I may do a few of these for the UA promo as well. This is true thinking outside the box and I applaud you all for it. Worthy cause + miles = great.

If you going to donate or go out to eat, please do $25 worth of food....

I wished I would have signed-up a long time ago....I always eat out and would have about 15,000 points by now......it adds up :)

I've seen a post about a coke to go which leads me to believe there is no minimum as long as its a DM Dining place and you pay with a registered card. I've also seen on FT that it needs to be a $25+ purchase. Which is it? Sorry, I tried searching.

There's no minimum to count as a hit for Grand Slam, but DM Dining has its own bonus promotions running as well that might require a minimum spend to hit that are completely independent of Grand Slam.

Specifically, if you're not already a DM Dining member, you can earn 1000 miles for doing two dines of $25 or more and filling out a review for each. This bonus is for new members only.

There's no minimum to count as a hit for Grand SlamCorrect. Last year I walked 2 blocks to a nearby participating restaurant & had a Coke at the bar. Got a small amountt of miles & the resulting GS hit.

Maybe I'll have it sent to a food shelter

I just signed up for Dividend Dining and it seems that it is the same program as the Rapid Rewards dining with the same restaurants. I signed up with the same credit card that I used for RR dining, how is that going to effect my earning? Will I earn both DM and RR points for a dine? Or neither?

I just received my US credit card. Think I may just register that and remove the RR credit card from my Dividend Dining card.

No double dipping. The points should register with your DM account because as I understand the mechanism, when you register a card previously registered with another program in a new program, the new registration takes hold and your previous registration is canceled. Which means that if you do remove this card after registering your US card, you'll want to register the first card again with RR just to be sure you're still getting dining credits in RR.

Interesting - I've never been able to register the same card number with two Rewards Network programs. It gives a cryptic error.

How long does it usually take activity to show up? Dined last Thursday. I see the charge on my registered CC but nothing showing up at dividend miles dining yet.

same here.

same here.

I use the dining quite often for Delta and United. Sometimes it takes up to 4 or 5 days for miles to post in the rewards network dining site, and then transfers a few days later. Just did the first dine today for us dividend miles dining.

You could try Taco Delmar in Langley, BC in Canada. They are part of the US Airways Dining Reward Network. I did call The Franchisee up and he seems open to do food delivery (perhaps to some shelter or charity). I was going to get a dining hit through him but I visited another restaurant on the network recently so wouldn't need a hit from him at this point but may use them for a small catering later.

If there are enough FT'ers interested to place the order, I would imagine he could collect all the orders and deliver them in one go. We get the miles, he makes the money and the homeless/needy can enjoy free food as well. Win win for all. For those interested, you can try calling him at (604) 773-1083/email- psnair_2000 At Yahoo Dot Com . I believe Coke starts at $1.50-2

Great idea, would love to take part. PM me if somebody sets this up.

Perhaps anyone in New York City wants some coke?

East of Hudson St to Broadway; North to 23rd St. & south to Vesey St.

PM me with your adress, date and time so Baluchis can deliver you :cool:

Can anyone recommend any participating restaurants in NYC?

I've looked through about 15 pages of restaurants on the rewards network, but either I know they're terrible or I've never heard of them. Not expecting haute cuisine from this, but if there's a half-way decent place out there, please let me know.

Dined on Sept 19. Got email on Sept 26 saying that points will post in 5-10 days. Haven't yet posted but I know they will.

Some representative activity last year from 4 different establishments:

11/13/2010 11/26/10 DM DINING BONUS, xxxxxx,WASHINGTON DC 9
11/24/2010 12/03/10 DM DINING BONUS, yyyyyy,WASHINGTON DC 310
12/14/2010 12/24/10 DM DINING BONUS, zzzzzzz,COLUMBIA SC 144
12/22/2010 12/31/10 DM DINING BONUS, wwwwww,WASHINGTON DC 658

So 9-13 days, roughly.

Any other ideas for a hit with Dividend Miles Dining when I'm not in the US?

Any chance that one could call a participating restaurant and ask to charge $1 to a credit card?

My 9/17 meal posted to US yesterday.

Same for me, 13 days.

Must be an end of the month sweep, as my 9/20 meal also posted yesterday.

Must be an end of the month sweep, as my 9/20 meal also posted yesterday.
On the DM Dining website, my first meal was on 9/21 and says 106 miles paid on 9/27. It actually posted to US on 9/30 with an activity date of 9/21.

I had another meal on 9/25 that still says "Pending" on the DM Dining site, so I have not gotten my miles yet for that. Both dines were above $25, so I'm expecting to get my 500 bonus miles for each of those, too.

My wife gets to sign up now to pay for our next two qualifying meals for her hit and her DM Dining new member bonus.

Must be an end of the month sweep, as my 9/20 meal also posted yesterday.

On the other hand, my 9/23 dine has not posted to US yet. The miles have appeared on the DM Dining site, with "pending" in the "paid" column.

I think it's coincidence. As noted in post #55, Dining miles post more often than once/month.

Right. Give it 9-13 days & I expect it will post.

Restaurant with Delivery and credit card charge

I was trying to find a restaurant which delivers and charges the credit card imediately and which does not make a zip code check. Baluchi's worked last year but no longer. All my orders were cacelled because paid with a non-us credit card (which, of course, did not pass the zip code test). Any help appreciated.

Here's a question.

Going to NYC this week, zip 11370. Want to get my DM Miles hit, as there's really no where to get one where I'm at in the mountains. What if you order delivery from a place that is a part of DM Dining but they go through a third party delivery site? Will it show as a DM Dining purchase, thus get a hit, or will the charge go through the engine and thus not show up (and thus no hit)??

Don't use third party credit card processors. I had a foul ball last year with some online restaurant which uses one of these. In order to credit the hit, the charge has to come direct from the restaurant to the registered credit card.

Baluchi's is no longer doing online or phone orders unless you can sign for it. They were my hit last year but wouldn't do it this year as they said they were getting too many chargebacks. I finally found a small takeaway near my Mom's house that would do a delivery credit card order over the phone. It cost a bit more but my Mom got 2 lunches courtesy of me and my husband.

This would be a good chance for a FTer who lives near a restaurant that will take credit card orders over the phone to get some free meals if anyone wants to organize it.

Anyone register for US AIr dining with a credit card of different name? I am having trouble.

Works fine. I've registered a number of other people's credit cards on my account (and get surprise miles every now and then)! ;)

I've also rotated my cards too. Deleted from AA then used it in US.

We don't have any participating restaurants in our area so we, too, were looking for a delivery option. We ended up having Jason's Deli deliver a tray of cookies and brownies to the front office of the assisted living place of my wife's great aunt (her grandmother also lived there before she passed away). They certainly deserve it for the job they do. So, that's another type of option for people looking for a delivery (I liked the fire station idea as well!).

Good for you guys in the USA not good for me. The Deli does a zip code check (there is a specific field for billing zip code) and thus, not for non-US ccs

Oh man, didn't even think about that. Shucks.... I'm sure there's a lot of other delivery places in Denver but many are going to ask for a zip I bet.

For people out of the US or Canada who want an i-dine hit, here's what you can do. Find another FTer who lives near a participating restaurant, then give them access to your idine account (user ID and password). There is no security issue here as nothing accumulates in your account (all miles are transferred to the airline) and only the last 4 digits of your credit card are visible. The other person can go into your account, register their credit card, then make a purchase at a participating restaurant with the registered card. After the dine has posted, they can go in and delete the credit card. (It is important not to delete the card before the dine has posted!)

I have done this numerous times for friends to help them get their VIP status. I used to have a Lick's Burgers near me where I could buy a coke for $1.29, so would quickly rack up the number of dines they needed to get the status, then I would delete my credit card from their account. Unfortunately, there are no longer any participating restaurants near me, so I won't be volunteering my services. Sorry.

There is no place with delivery near me.
There are plenty of member establishments though, including one that I go all the time.
Can I simply go there, pay with the Credit Card, and wait to post?
Or do you need to tell the waitress?

Simply have dinner and pay with your registered card. If you tell the server, he/she will probably have a blank stare, as he/she'll have no idea what you're talking about! ;)

That's the beauty of i-dine. No special cards or anything. When I'd take my customers out for dinner, I always chose i-dine restaurants and they had no idea that we were there so I could earn points!

Thanks!
I'm going to head there and then go take see a play in a few hours.

So what's the cheapest hit I can get for doing this online? I have a US issued CC but I'm halfway around the world and never done this iDine thing online.

So I'm looking at Two Boots Hell's Kitchen. I just have to register my card, and then place the order online through the Two Boot's website?

Seems like a salad for $4.5 + $9 seems not to bad for a hit?

Payment to TwoBoots will show up as "SEAMLESS" on your CC - and that is called a faul ball :td::td::td:

But I thought the iDine thing would capture the purchase on the back end. Sorry but I'm really clueless about this process. So it totally won't work?

I'm not sure how the process works but apparently Two Boots uses this "Seamless" like a Paypal type processor. Since Seamless isn't a DM Dining partner, you won't get credit. Apparently if you go there in person, they swipe your credit card and it charges as Two Boots otherwise they couldn't be part of the program.

Thanks for the clarification.

So any other alternatives for online delivery that will hit?

Is post #76's suggestion a good solution for your problem?

Is post #76's suggestion a good solution for your problem?
yes,if someone would be kind enough to help out-i wondered how i can get them the money for the coke/whatever?

If anyone is in midtown Manhattan, I found a cheap hit and a good quick lunch.

Fat Sal's Pizza on 9th ave between 38th and 39th. 2 big slices of pepperoni and a drink was $8. You could do it cheaper as they have a lunch special... 2 slices of cheese and a fountain drink for $5.50. Little joint with about 10 seats. They do deliver but they use a third party for online.

The problem from the restaurant's point of view is that if they don't get a signature, they're SOL if for any reason the charge gets disputed -- they have to eat the charge, plus the chargeback fee, plus too many chargebacks can cause their base discount rate to go up.

It could be someone just trying to do an airline promotion... or it could be someone seeing if their stolen card works, or a "Robin Hood" type who thinks he's sticking it to the banks by running up a bunch of deliveries to homeless shelters (but the restaurants will actually be stuck with it).

Is post #76's suggestion a good solution for your problem?

Here in CAE, we have Qdoba Mexican Grill (http://www.qdoba.com) and Sonic Drive-In (http://www.sonicdrivein.com/).

Cheap and all-over town; as for quality.....

Sonic has slushies that are pretty cheap and yummy.

It appears that dining miles have posted. YAY!!

Miles posted to US on 10/7 for a dine on 9/23.

Miles posted to US on 10/7 for a dine on 9/23.

Yep, for me as well. No problem with a European Credit Card in an outlet in Boston

Registered my card and my husband's on dividend miles dining. Drove a half hour to the closest restaurant listed in our area planning on buying a bottle of wine on one card and the meal on another. Turns out the place closed down back in March so I ended up eating out anyhow somewhere else which cost me $100 (at least it was on my usair card) but I can't figure out any way to get these hits. If there is anyone with a place near them that is willing to make a purhase for me on both accounts (or even one) or can point me to a place I can do it online I would be most appreciative. Thought I was all set with the indian place I ordered and was having sent to the mission but that was cancelled. I am so frustrated :(

We live out in the boonies with no place to rent a car- I am renting one for January for our trip but that won't help me now. Not enough hotel points to transfer. Looks like the Vinesse and Wine Insider won't work without a subscription I am deflated. I really wanted to surprise hubby with tickets to Europe this summer- I should have bought them when they were doubling the miles.

if you can find place online great but an alternative solution can be register your friend/family card in your and hubby's account and tell you folks to visit DM registered place nearby them.

It actually appears that neither requires a subscription, though one is more affordable than the other. See the "other partners" thread.

Sadly we all live in this area-so that won't work. I would have been happy to send a meal to a shelter or foot the bill for someone but I can't find any other online ones other than the two that were mentioned here that will not work.

I just read that thread about the wine (it is long took me a while to get through it all lol) so i will order that too.

Your friend/family can be anywhere , not neccessarily in your area and they can eat at participating places.

sadly my friends all live here in the boonies too :( if anyone wants to be my friend and let me buy you a qualifying purchase please pm me- or if you know of any other delivery ones that I can donate to a shelter. Farm country is not good for dividend dining- guess I will have to cross it off my list as not possible. Still can't belive we drove all the way to the restaurant to find it closed:td:

Maybe you can give one of the places a call and see if they'll just charge a couple of bucks for you. There are some family-owned places in the system that may (possibly?) be more likely to do it than a chain.

I thought I read somewhere that you could earn a hit by adding a new credit card number to your DMDining account, if the credit card had not previously been associated with any dining program. But now I can't find that anywhere in the grand slam rules.

Was I dreaming?

For anyone needing a dining hit!

It looks like I will be attending the YYZ FT do (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-canada-aeroplan/1261549-supercrazy-back-back-yyz-fall-do-oct-6-13-a.html)on Thurs Oct 13 which will be held at an i-dine pub/restaurant. I can register my credit card on your account. (see post #76)

I am still missing a number of hits because I don't live in the U.S. and hate to buy stuff and send it to someone else.

If you are interested in a dining hit, and wouldn't mind doing one of the following for me, perhaps we can help each other.



Vinesse
Biscoff
1-800 flowers (or any of the other flower hits)
Office Max
Network Solutions

I got my hit:

10/1/2011 10/14/11 DM DINING BONUS,GEORGE & DRAGON ENGLISH RESTAURANT & PUBS ,PHOENIX AZ 139

The dine was on 10/1.

Sorry if this is a dumb question; I have been scouring all over the DM Dining website, but can't seem to find a place to "submit" a review for a restaurant I just ate at? Where is it? :mad:

Every now and then, they offer bonus miles for doing restaurant reviews. So I make it a point to never review a restaurant without an incentive now! :)

I still get emails from RewardsNetwork with links inviting me to do reviews -- one just yesterday. I think it's everytime, but most don't offer bonus miles, unless there's a promo for them. Takes a few days to show up, in any case.

(My post above was about my AAdvantage Dining account.)

There is no bonus miles promo for DM Dining at present, right? It seems that I saw one for 1,000, up until last week. Would someone have an idea of how often they come around for DM Dining? I ask because a promo often doesn't apply to all the RN programs at once. Thank you.

There is still a 1,000 mile bonus on the Dining splash page for new dining enrollees. Nothing for those of us that have been doing this for years.

Yes indeed. Thank you. I just found it again, too. ('Tis a bit of a stiff one for my purposes at $25 per dine...) I'm hoping to come in with different particulars, including a different credit card. I know from very limited shifting cards around before that things like credit cards, usernames and addresses can't be repeated (even without regard to bonuses). Thanks again. :)

Hi,

How long does it take for the Dividend Miles Dining hit in the GS to post?

Hi,

How long does it take for the Dividend Miles Dining hit in the GS to post?

I'm wondering the same thing. The dining page is listing my dines but when it will hit my US DM account is piquing my curiosity.

Hi,

How long does it take for the Dividend Miles Dining hit in the GS to post?

I've had two recent dines. One took 13 days to post to my DM account; the other took 11.

Hi,

How long does it take for the Dividend Miles Dining hit in the GS to post?

Mine took about 7 days.
My out of pocket expense for the $25 meal was zero. I was on a business trip and expensed it.;)

How does the program distinguish when you go to dinner and use a certain credit card? Do you get to pick which program you want to write a review for (and thus claim the points for)? Or should I, to be on the safe side, "de-register" one of my credit cards on Delta's Skymiles Dining for the time being?

Thanks!

Oh and if it matters, I would rather *not* have to de-register one of my cards because I'm going for a Delta promotion, too. Just not sure how all of this works! :) Thank you in advance!

It should automatically deregister you from Delta.

Eek, okay. So then do you know if I can just re-sign up with that card on Delta? Or, more importantly, could I still get the new member 1,000 point promotion even though I would be deregistered? (I'm sure I'd first have to call and explain the situation to them.)

Nevermind--just looked at the terms and conditions. Should have looked before, sorry. It says it will deregister the card, not the person. I will just be sure to register another card before using that card. Thanks so much.

2 hits meant that is was testet with 2 different accounts and both got miles at DM DINING.

don't know yet if $1 work also, we had success with $3 and $5.

Can't upload a picture here, so if you unsure with the language, only look at the pics ;)

OT: VFT was set up in 2009 by some Flyertalkers to set up a german version and move away from Vielfliegerforum (VFF) which had become rather weird over time. Two years down the road VFT and FT complement each other and each has found their corner. VFF was just acquired by BCD travels.

Back on topic, a friend just had a coke at a DM Dining place on 10/16 after I added one of his CCs to my account. Miles posted this morning ^, so this is an excellent way to get a hit. Just make sure the CC number is not added in any other DMD account.

You can't use the same credit card number in 2 accounts. Normally when you register a credit card, it automatically deletes it from any other account where you've registered it. Deleting your entire account is new to me! The only explanation I can think of is, did you have any other credit cards registered in your account? You MUST have one credit card in your account at all times. (You can even use a cancelled credit card number as a place holder.) I thought that if you didn't have a second cc, the system would not allow you to move the first cc number to a different account.

Exactly what I suggested in post #76. Name on credit card does not have to match account name.

Just a $1 donation should work right?
Perhaps, but $3+ would also post a karma hit. @:-)

I thought it would go off of name and number. Funny enough it no kidding deleted my account, I am no longer registered at all and moved all of my 3 registered credit cards to my wife's account. As long as she gets the hit and mine isn't taken away I don't care. I'm a bit far from the states to do any dining there anyway.

It's definitely gone.

Yes donation is gone,but how about buying a beverage and select pick-up option and never show up.Would they charge your card and have the hit?

Check other locations of the same pizza joint, they still have the donation.

It depends on if your bank is set up to show you or not. Not all of my banks show pending charges properly. Basically if you placed your order before they pulled the donation I suspect it will go through.

Heads up: Be careful if you have assigned a Discover credit card to your Dividend Miles Dining account. Instead of posting a transaction to Dividend Miles Dining, the transaction amount was reduced due to a promotion at Discover. The same thing again this year.

This shouldn't affect most people unless you have mutliple family members that looking for hits.

Dividend Miles Dining (http://usairways.rewardsnetwork.com/)

Let's list here the restaurants with

cheap food
delivery
credit card payment


That's was last year an easy hit which could be done from home without being involved. I remember that I had some deliveries from Baluchis (or something like that) in New York to the shelters.

Cannot find the restaurant chain anymore this year

I live in Montana and the website does list ANY places in the state that participate. We have every chain restaurant in the country here. Furthermore, I did a search on ATL airport and there were no listings there either. How on earth is this possible?!

Columbus, OH and Irvine, CA.

Columbus, OH looks like it works.

I live in Montana and the website does list ANY places in the state that participate. We have every chain restaurant in the country here. Furthermore, I did a search on ATL airport and there were no listings there either. How on earth is this possible?!

Try searching for restaurants near College Park, Georgia (where ATL airport is). I have found the search feature is not great, but when I searched that way, all the airport stuff came up. Or try 30349 (College Park zip code). This was about a week ago, so unless it has changed since then, this should work.

Not sure if anyone posted this already, but I did a purchase after I signed up for me and MRS credit card, one was a MasterCard and the other happens to be a Amex, now I went into a nearby Location who said they accept AMEX, and bought a soda for a couple of bucks on each card. Did this this year and last year, and Both times only the MasterCard purchase (mine) hit my DM acct! Mrs moebod got nothing. I finally figured out (well I called the dining program...) that even though a restaurant may actually accept Amex (or any card) They DO NOT NECESSARILY accept it as a reward "participating" card. The only way to know fore sure that it will accumulate DM miles, is iff it is listed with the rewards networks website (when you click on the restaurant for more info like hours etc) if it shows AMEX (or whatever you are using) then you are good to go. I think this is very important and may be looked over by other FTers as well....

Why didn't you just come to one of our two YYZ dos on Oct 6 and 13? Both were held at Jersey Giant, an i-dine place. Oh well, good for St Judes, even though I'd be embarassed to have a donation of only a couple of bucks.

Margaritagirl, I'm not really a DO kind of person. I don't mind catching up with individual FTers if paths cross, but not into the shin-dig kind of thing. :)

So I think they will be on US soon !

I donated to St Judes using Z pizza , Irvine, CA. It is still showing pending charge since October 20th. Anyone got the charge to eventually show up on their transaction list and posted on rewardsnetwork's dining control panel?

And me - Irvine, CA on 10/20 AND Columbus, OH on 10/25. It's beginning to look as though they are only interested in passing on your charitable donations if they can also sell you pizza at the same time....

Looks like we might need to actually deliver a pizza to the hospital or fire station next door...

I just had a pizza delivered to the Fire Station 1 in Columbus with the note "A donation to the firefighters of Columbus for their amazing work."

Let see if this one turns into a correct charge and hit.

Just a data point,

I ordered the $1 donation at Z PIZZA columbus on 24th Oct and it showed up as pending charge immediately. This charge has now shown up as finalised as at 26th Oct. So still working, just might take a few days.

However, no transaction on the DM Dining rewards account yet. How long does it typically take between credit card being charged (finalised) and transaction/miles showing up?

cheers

Which seems quite reasonable since the business loses money with each donation paid by the DM Dining card.

Z Pizza in Billings. You could also just buy a $1 St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Pumpkin Pin-up

2/4 of mine have posted and shown up on the Dividend Dining site. The other two were made the day after so I expect them to show up soon.

My 10/25 Donation to St Jude hosp just showed up on my cc bill, two days after the order. Looks like it was working after all.

Let see if it shows up correctly in DMDining.

made 2 separate $25 donations 24 hrs ago. Havent posted to my credit card yet. Will advise ASAP. I would say that as soon as it registers in the Dining account its golden.

Do these guys post on Friday - did anyone get them today? I did my dine 2 weeks back, and they hit my dining account more than a week back, still not transferred to US Air.

I just had a pizza delivered to the Fire Station 1 in Columbus with the note "A donation to the firefighters of Columbus for their amazing work."

That's mighty fine of you.

Which seems quite reasonable since the business loses money with each donation paid by the DM Dining card.

True. But then again if you advertise that your business is making a donation to St Jude's (http://www.zpizza.com/) on your homepage then not processing donation only payments would be a bit of an own goal.

Anyway, like some others, my Columbus donation (though not my Irvine one) has hit my credit card so will hopefully hit my dining account and then my DM account fairly soon.

Do these guys post on Friday - did anyone get them today? I did my dine 2 weeks back, and they hit my dining account more than a week back, still not transferred to US Air.

Yep, a dine on 10/16 posted Friday:

10/16/2011 10/28/11 DM DINING BONUS,NEW YORK PIZZA DEPOT ,ANN ARBOR MI 11

Anyway, like some others, my Columbus donation (though not my Irvine one) has hit my credit card so will hopefully hit my dining account and then my DM account fairly soon.

It's now on my dining account, the day after reaching my credit card. So should be a hit either next or the following Friday by the look of it.

Essential: Sushi on 10/20 posted in DM account on 10/28.

Blah blah blah: So that's Dividend Miles Dining miles at 5/$, plus a hit, plus used a Groupon for $30 of it (Groupon cost $15, for which I received 16 mi/$ the day I purchased it through DM Shopping), plus got 1,000 opentable.com points. A pentafecta? :-:


*********************
NB1: The 1,000 pt. opentable dine completes two 1,000 point dines, popping a $20 voucher to use at any opentable registered restaurant. I won't even try to put into words what a 6-fecta would be. :D

NB2: I haven't actually received all the miles yet, but this is what is due.

There is still a 1,000 mile bonus on the Dining splash page for new dining enrollees. Nothing for those of us that have been doing this for years.

Try as I might - starting "anew" - name (my "TSA name", was my "getting a shot name" when I was little), username, password, even a completely "virgin" credit card - no promo joining bonus. Rats. They already know me. Trying to figure out what I did wrong. I know, didn't deserve it in the first place. Oh, well. Nothing to see here. Please move along...

Ah, that would be the hexa-fecta.

OK, my CC company stuffed this one up for me because they regarded the 2 $1 transactions as suspicious and declined them and now donation option no longer on zpizza. Any other known working options for donations or no-shows that have been used?

I know it has been said that it takes 4-6 days to post to US DM Dining after purchase, is this regardless of the credit card? I just activated my US Airways CC today and wanted to do Dining Miles on that card. The next statement won't end until mid-December, will that matter for Dining?

So my 10/22 ZPizza order posted, but my next two were for pickup the next day and they never posted. Damnit! Such a cheap and easy hit, why would they remove a $1 donation?

Probably because they did not want to incur losses and pay credit card processing fees for the lonely $1 donations.

The Columbus zPizza did not accept my $1.00 donation to St. Jude's, but the Irvine one did. Charges are pending to my card, and no miles or hit yet, but so far that transaction is in the works. Made the donation 10/31.

DM Dining is separate from the credit card statement. The dining goes through the rewards network. You will receive an e-mail 4-6 days after you have dined asking you to review the restaurant. The miles will be deposited a few days after that.

No problems with this vendor - all transaction have posted.

Looks like it is hit and miss. The Irvine one never accepted any of my four $1 donations when I did them about 10 days ago but the Columbus one did for all of them for the past few days and they are all now charged to my credit cards and all posted to my dining accounts. Or it could be that Z Pizza's had a change of heart and is now allowing all the donations from all the locations to go through for the good cause.

I can't find donation link on http://irvine.zpizza.com/zgrid/proc/site/sitemnup.jsp?mnuid_it=121048

Maybe it was removed?

Is the review a vital part of the process? I have a zpizza $3 donation showing up in my brand new DM Dining account (9 miles ready to ship). The date shows 22nd October, i.e. more than the mandated 10 day posting period. I've just done the review now, but will miles not be delivered without a review?

I don't think the review is mandatory to get your points - it wasn't for the southwest dining thing I did before - but I just went back and did one for Z pizza anyway, just in case... it says 3 miles paid on 11/1, but nothing has shown up in my actual account yet.

A review is not a requirement for GS credit, but it appears that reviews are occasionally made a requirement for bonus promotions. I just received an email today from the DM dining program about the "Sweeten the Deal" promotion: an extra 3 miles per dollar for dines through the end of the year with a limit of $125 in restaurant spend. The T&Cs of the promotion specifically require a review.

Same here Nov 1 posting in my DM Dining account, but it does say it takes 5 - 10 days to post. Not sure if that means to our actual DM account.

From my previous dines, the miles usually show up in my DM account 3-4 days after the date they say they have been awarded in Dining Rewards.

Are there still options for the dining hit without really dining?

There are several nice restaurants near me in the program. I would be quite willing to eat food you pre-order for pickup. Especially if several of you coordinate your orders so that I can make a complete meal out of it.

(Always trying to find a way I can give back to the community......)

Can we pay for it online and you can pick it up?

I was being facetious but I bet you could call over, order with your credit card, and tell them your friend will pick it up.

I don't have any dinner plans yet tonight ........ (y'all have about 8 hours to put something together)

Has anyone who donated to St Jude's via zPizza got a hit (credited to your DM account) yet?

I remember some people placed an order at the Columbus Z-pizza and had it delivered to the firehouse nearby. That should be relatively inexpensive and a good cause to boot.

As I mentioned above, restaurants are wary of charges where the card holder doesn't sign the slip. If the charge is disputed, they have essentially zero recourse and are stuck with the bill and the chargeback fee.

Posted to my DM Dining Account but not to DM yet.

Yes. Twice, but spend $3 ;)

Really I meant after you kindly publicised it a couple of weeks ago (thanks by the way). I thought DM Dining posted on Fridays, so was hoping it would post today, but nothing so far for me anyway.

Yes. Twice, but spend $3 ;)

The first 2 out of 4 worked for me. The other two didn't process until the next day and never made it through.

FWIW, all of my 4 dining hits through the Columbus location did get charged by my credit cards and showed up on the dining accounts. They were all done about last week.

So just to clarify - they have hit your Dining account but not the DM account (yet)?

It's always great seeing the generosity of FT'ers willing to go out of their way to eat free food... :P

Mine posted to both.

An easy way to get a dining hit is to find a restaurant near a friend or relative and order a gift card over the phone and have it sent to them (say for $10 or so). That way you get your hit and you make someone happy.

I thought a few people had posted that the dining miles post on Fridays-I didn't see them in 2 of my accounts today. Did anyone get dining miles into dividend miles today?

Just had my Z-Pizza miles post from my 10/25 St. Judes donation in two separate accounts.

or you can order order from our friendly Zpizza Columbus location a coke for pick-up...I missed the plane to pick-up in time ;)

I posted something very similar (somewhere) recently. It's works like a charm.

As I mentioned above, restaurants are wary of charges where the card holder doesn't sign the slip. If the charge is disputed, they have essentially zero recourse and are stuck with the bill and the chargeback fee.

Sure but if you order something for pickup from zpizza and they have had to make it would think there is a decent chance they will charge you for it anyway (or give it a go).

Looks like we might need to actually deliver a pizza to the hospital or fire station next door...

I just had a pizza delivered to the Fire Station 1 in Columbus with the note "A donation to the firefighters of Columbus for their amazing work."

Let see if this one turns into a correct charge and hit.

Hey did you get this Hit?

I was planning to order a pizza for Firestation, but I was already told "the delviery address can't be found".

Is this address "300 N. Fourth Street, Columbus, OH, 43215"
correct? What is their phone number?

The min charge is USD 15, right?

So just to clarify - they have hit your Dining account but not the DM account (yet)?

Yes that's right. I am expecting them to post to the DM accounts I manage this Friday.

Mine did actually post to DM a few hours after I posted (ie later on Friday last).

We "dined" on 25 October.

Don't suggest you get a zpizza delivery (Columbus). This hit my DNDining rewards today but with zero points, tried to do a review and this is what I got! Actually I vistied on 31/10 but obviously they didn't put the entry through for a couple of days.

The one I had on the 28th worked fine but the ones on 31st and later no luck, possibly because they withdrew from the Dining Rewards about then.

They are still listed on: http://usairways.rewardsnetwork.com/search.htm?q=Columbus,%20OH&e=z%20pizza . Perhaps you might have some luck contacting the dining program and get them to honour you the miles.

St.Jude's donation via Zpizza (Coumbus) posted to my DM.

I am late to this game. Anyone else have problems signing up for DM dining? It doesn't accept my DM number and won't let me create an account. Anyone have any ideas?

If you happen to try to enroll a CC that is already enrolled in another dining program, it'll give a very generic "registration failed" message. You may not even realize the card is registered; many of the airline branded CCs automatically enroll you in that airline's version of dining rewards.

In Firefox, the problem is that on the second enrollment page I can't even see where to enter the DM number. When I go to enroll without it, it says "Please enter your Dividend Miles Dining Number."

When using Chrome, the problem is that a box shows up only after I hit enroll and gives the error. When I put the number into the box, it says "The Dividend Miles Dining Number you entered is invalid. Please try again."

It is not a Visa issue, as I have put a no fee no gimmicks Visa card in.

I experienced the same problems yesterday on IE. Didn't try today. I know this credit card is not being used on another dining account.

Best to call RewardsNetwork. It manages all the "XX Dining" programs. The CSR will have you sorted more quickly than you can do it yourself.

It seems that the activity date is the date of the dine, not the date that it gets entered into Reward Network's systems, right? Since the end of the promo is coming, I was planning on dining at a participating restaurant this Friday, and I just wanted to make sure the activity date would be listed as Friday to ensure I get the hit. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!
