... I have to say that once I become lifetime Platinum with AA it will be a tough choice. Will probably do 3 small cost restaurants for the 500 bonus, and any large checks do the 20%. It suppose to be coming this summer.

dgordon,
What I like to do in order not to lose my 20% discount yet still earn my 500 bonus miles each month is ask the waiter to put a small amount of the bill, say $10 or $20 dollars on my IDine mileage award card and the rest on my IDine card that yields me the 20% savings. It's kind of like having your cake and eating it too.
