One more sidenote: Is anyone worried about what will happen in June 2006? I'm a worrier by nature, so I'm worried that we'll get fewer miles when the current double mile bonus ends. I'm hoping that they'll add another bonus next year as I'm now spoiled by the new 10 miles/$ and 20 mile/$ Hot Deals scheme. Then again, some of us were worried this year when the change was inititally annouced, but the new system turned out to be a lot better.
Oh, and you all are crushing me with dining miles. I've only earned 5813 miles with Rewards Network (plus the 1700 or so miles from the last UA bonus, and +3000 miles that I'll get for the current bonus). In the past month, though, I've been dining out solely at Rewards Network restaurants, much to the dismay of my on-and-off girlfriend.
The UA bonus runs Aug 1 - Sept 30. Since my next dine will be #8 (the max for the bonus), I think I'll switch to the US bonus program - which is also a 2/4/6/8 bonus for 3K and NO minimum charges, but also only to Sept 30! So my soda charges will count as a "dine" for the bonus.
I also hope that when 6/30/06 rolls around, they will give us elites something more than 3/$. I'm spoiled now.
Although I lost count, I think I only have about 65K in idines in the last 4 or 5 years.
