I agree that iDine is going downhill because of their date/time restrictions on dining. That has turned me off of several of their restaurants. But I still participate at quite a few places.

I think it warrants its own FT forum because so many of us are very active in it and would keep each other up to date on promotions/opportunities in the various programs. I don't lurk all of the airline boards, but if I saw a good promotion on an iDine board, I might pursue it.

We have Sprint/MCI/AT&T boards here because a few people use those programs and keep each other up to date on promotions. iDine is at least as active as those - probably 2 or 3 times moreso.
