AA awards the multi-partner bonus, while Rewards Network awards the AAdvantage Dining new member bonus. Since those two bonuses are awarded by different companies, why would you think that the T&Cs of one company talking only about itself precludes the bonus stacking with the bonus from another company?

Or did you not realize that AA and Rewads Network (the operators of AAdvantage Dining) are totally separate companies?
That was my reasoning as well - the 10K promo is not dining specific, the dining rewards just happens to be part of it.

(also in response to the above post, it's technically 1k for the first dine, then 500 for each of the two subsequent dines, and the reviews are pretty easy and painless, they don't have to be long and exhaustive).

If they weren't stackable, that would also beg the question of which one "counts." That is, since both promos require you to spend $25 to get the bonus, how would you choose which promo that $25 dine counted toward?

In any case, however, I have not received any bonuses from anywhere yet, either for the dining or for dining+shopping.
