As an elite AA member - I get a 500 mile bonus for dining 3 times - so I make sure that I dine three times. I rarely bother with the less than 10 mile restaurant, unless I can pick up something really cheap - like 2 slices of pizza. I don't bother with the restaurants in which you have to commit to a time and I'm annoyed at the restaurants that have black-out dates. My favorite restaurants have dropped out one by one and it is VERY annoying. I use my Diners Club - to get the cash discount in any of the restaurants that take DC - and I get without paying an extra fee, so I get a bit of both. Wonder if they will be sending out surveys for the other airline groups. I definitely would bother less for puny points. If they took away the bonus miles - I definitely wouldn't be going out of my way.
