iDine/Rewards Network - Monthly spending limit

I'm planning to pick up the check (and be reimbursed) for a large group at a participating restaurant. Reading the statement on the NW program, "Unlimited visits; WorldPerks® Bonus Miles awarded on qualifying dines up to the maximum spending limit of $1000 per month," I want to be sure I'm reading that right. I don't think I'll go over, but if the spending is over $1000 I'll get the miles for $1000, right? They won't say "We're giving no miles for this $960 because with your previous $50 spending this month, it takes you over the limit"? And is there any limit on the number of people in the party? I remember such a limit, but maybe it was for the Diners Club cash rebate program I had long ago.

In the past, there was a "Rule of 7" where one had to clear 8+ diners with RN before the meal - I don't know if it's still in place. Couldn't hurt to call and ask?

I believe that if you had a $50 dine, and then a $960 one, you'd get miles on the first $950 of the second dine.

I have always received miles for the first $1000, but never over. Single dines only in my experience.

On one occasion, I had 24 people in the party. I did not clear in advance. I was awarded miles for the first $1000.
