Unless they conjure up some unforeseen promos, I’d be surprised to get another 10k for the remainder of the year. T’was grand while it lasted.
Well, the promos WERE foreseen (see another thread about how I foresaw something close to what happened a couple months ago), and they mean that pretty much ALL restaurants have become 10 milers for at least the next year (or until they drop out, of course) -- but only for those active enough to qualify for the top tier of each dining program.

And as to idineries unexpectedly dropping, maybe it had something to do with them "knowing" (not explicitly, but through a new cost restructuring at their end) that they'd have to become 10 milers on July 1 or else drop out?

Anyway, I guess you have to resume your pig out right away, because you may only have one more year to do it, right?
