Sign up for AA Dining, find a restaurant that participates that you'd like to eat at, have a meal & use a registered on AA DIning credit card. Personally, my wife and I like Rosa Mexicana so we're happy to go get a guacamole, margheritas and some flautas and generate a few more loyalty points (5X times $ spend for me).

We ate at a Chinese restaurant the other day that is Michelin Bib Gourmand that is in the program and had a great meal (wonderful salt-and-pepper shrimp).
