I have been an idine member for 3 months now and here is what I think. I have spent $404 so far in meals (all work related and reimbursed) I have received $26.31 back or $75.31 less the $49 membership fee. So at this point I would have 4,040 miles or $26.31. Now to really judge you need to extrapolate for an entire year. That would give me $1,616 spent or 16,160 miles or $268 (assuming I only use 20% rebate restaurants) For me the money is better than the miles in this case. Since the average airline needs 25K for a free ticket. Fortunately for me my airline HP only requires 20K.

Anyone else have an opinion?
