First of all, be careful,
many (though far from all) restaurants have a monthly miles earning limit of
only the first $600 in spend that month. So if you spend $1000 on one dine at such a restauarnt, you'd only earn miles (regular as well as bonus) on the first $600 of that $1000 spend.
Second, there are multiple promos going on (and being discussed in this thread), and what you get depends on which you got targeted for:
If you're VIP status, your base earnings are 5 miles/$ spent, so for a single $1000 dine (at a restaurant that allowed it to all count), you'd earn 5000 miles normally.
Then if you have the targeted Squirrel Away Double Bonus, you'd earn another 5000 miles from that (provided your dine was by today, because that's when this bonus ends!).
Finally, if you have the targeted 10,000 Reasons to Dine Bonus, and your earning under that is 1000 miles bonus for each cumulative $250 spend (since it's a targeted bonus, I don't know if everyone got targeted for the same bonus earning rate), then you'd get another 4x1000 miles bonus from that, as a long as you completed a review of the dine.
(The 10,000 Reasons to Dine is based on cumulative spend, and one $1000 dine is 4 times of accumulating $250, just as 100 $10 dines are.)
If you're not yet VIP status (in which case why do $1000 as a single dine???), you'd only get 3000 base miles (and thus only 3000 if doubled via Squirrel Away).
