Sounds like you're in only one iDine program, or else don't feel like juggling.
Me, I'm in 6 iDine programs (only 3 of which have this bonus or any bonus for that matter right now), 5 mile/point programs, and one cashback (through DC).
I'm rotating which of the 3 programs I am doing the bonus with. (It's a bit easier because I "created" the biggest biggie by doing a mass gift certificate purchase, and then only need a couple "moderlate biggies" to go with that.) While that program is tied up waiting for 3 high-value dines, I'm using the other programs to earn reguarly in the meantime. Then once I get the high-value dines done on one program, I'll register another.
I'm used to having to juggle anyway, because a lot of my favorite iDine places at the locations I'm at frequently are one/month places, which I can only get around by juggling EVERY month.
Btw, I chose a one/month for my massive gift certificate purchase, that way I can avoid the one/month limitation there in future months, and it won't feel like I'm "passing up miles" not to use my card on those occasions!
