iDine now has over 10,000 participating restaurants, as well as hotels in 24 major markets. Miles can be earned in 8 different FF programs. iDine frequently runs bonus mile promotions, the terms of which vary from one airline to another.

Presently, iDine threads are scattered among MilesBuzz, S.P.A.M. and the 8 airline forums. Please consider a dedicated iDine forum (perhaps under "Other Travel Related Programs"). This would centralize the discussion and allow FTers to monitor the many different iDine promotions without having to search 10 separate forums. From my own experience, I often use iDine to top off FF accounts for airlines that I don't regularly fly (and therefore don't frequent that airline's FT forum).

The mileage-earning opportunities from iDine (as well as the posts on the subject) far exceed, for example, those to be earned from car rental programs. Opportunities (and discussion thereof) will only continue to grow as iDine expands its hotel program (and as the major hotel chains reduce elite benfits).
