Now, I just have to send my receipts in and hopefully, I'll get the miles.
I never mention that it is an idine purchase. I just give the server my CC. Even though it is a Mileage Plus Visa or a Continental Airlines MC, how will they know it is linked to idine, unless I tell them? (BTW - my UA Visa is linked to UA, but my CO MC is linked to US - so they wouldn't know otherwise.)

All my miles have posted, except a few that were my fault. (Multiple charges on the same day for the same amount - I have since learned better.)
