Specifially, 2007 or about 5 years ago.

I have the HHonors American Express (the one with $0 annual fee) and thought it was only 3 points per $.

I just checked on the HHonors Surpass by AmEx and it gives an extra 3 pts. on grocery, gas and drugstores. But I didn't see 5 for dining.

Have the rewards changed since this post?

Yes, the rewards on the various HHonors credit cards have all changed at least once since 2007, either in terms of how many points you earn or in terms of which categories count and which don't.

I think they used to including dining as a category, but no more.

Btw, even the regular no-fee card HHonors Amex card gives extra points on gas/grocery/drug (GGD), plus phone and internet providors (Verizon and TimeWarner Cable in my case work). But if it once did dining (as I seem to recall), that ended quite a few years ago.

The only card I have that still gives extra points on dining every day is the Marriott Premier Visa from Chase (plus my AA Visa from Citi has double miles on several categories including dining as a temporary promotion through the end of this month, but that might be a targeted promotion). Of note, the Marriott Visa from Chase gives extra points on dining but not GGD, while the Priority Club Visa from Chase gives extra points on GGD but not dining!
