One always has to watch that - I dined in a property that was AA Dining and - they initially claimed their credit card machine was down. Then they took my card and they processed it through another machine, and I had to claim the miles with Rewards Network.
And yes, online orders may be handled by an intermediary and then - no miles. Thanks for reminding us.

Which is why I warn about the one exception of online take-out ordering, because some of those are handled through third party sites, and might be billed through third parties (if you do the payment online, that is).
