If you read above (this page for the Squirrel Away bonus, a page or two back for the Reactivation bonus), all of these recent targeted double miles bonues have been for a two week period, typically after you've had some (short) period of inactivity (in that program). I got two back to back, the second simply because I was on an out-of-the-country trip (and not dining with RN for only that reason!). So two weeks in late August followed by two weeks in mid September!
It works best if some of the places near you that participate, that you like, sell gift cards. Buy gift cards when the bonus is good, use them when there's no bonus.
