Had this been some sort of desperate clamoring for mileage, you would have found the means to go for it anyway!

I suppose you could have gotten up when the waitress or waiter grabbed the card, somehow seen the numbers and exp on it, called idine from the place in the bathroom, and then signed her up on the phone such that she is the member, and her card number associates with YOUR FFN. Then before that tip and total was signed, you would be back at your seat and the miles would be yours.

Of course, that kind of secretive, near-ID theft type of thing would only be worth doing if the tab were more like $700 or something. And now, in order to later switch her name off the account, you would have to have another woman call idine to do it on the phone because it may not list itself online since it was set up on the phone.

Or, I'd just tell her that you wish you had the 700miles... But yeah, for $15 the only other thing you could have done was go get a gift cert on the way out or something like that.

The worst I have done is to have done an idine for 10cents at a bar I frequent just to see if it would actually give me only 1 mile. Other than that, I suppose my idinables have NOT been like the above scheme! Sounds like that kind of thing could make for a Dick Tracy story anyway. I am always up for the funny ones.
