or 2000 x2.5=5000 miles.

which is it?
Clearly 250% of the miles.

Why am I so sure?

If it were on $ spent, there would be no bonus from some of the participating merchants, such as 21st Century Auto Insurance, which does not require you to purchase anything to get the 200 miles. Sharebuilder and NetFlix are a couple of other examples.
