I began to generally lose interest in iDine a couple of years ago. Mainly because all of the good restaurants in my area that are or were part of iDine either began slashing the rewards or pulled out altogether. I used to get 20% cash back or 10 FF miles/$ plus bonuses (I'd only go the mileage route if there were bonuses) at a bunch of good local lunch spots. Now it's 10% cash or very little in mileage, plus the good restaurants are out of the system.
Kind of a bummer...about 6-7 years ago, this was a major source of AA miles for me on my way to 1MM lifetime. Now it seems like this company is just fighting to hang on.
