Can you still log in to your old cash back account? If so, does the card still show there too? (It could be that simply rather than complaining they removed the card from the previous account.)
If it's gone from there, then that would indicate it's not going to work for cash back.
If it's showing up both places at the same time (if you go both websites), then who knows! It could be they won't catch the problem at all, or it could they'll catch the problem but only when it tries posting.
If you go back to the AAdvantage Dining website and it's gone, it's not going to work for AA miles.
If you're the only one who's run into this, you may not find out until YOU try it!
(What do you mean, you don't have any "fast dines"? Your info at the left of every post cliaims you're in NY NY. There's TONS of iDIne places there, including many where you could simply get a drink (coffee, coke, beer, whatever) for a few bucks as an experiment.
And, btw, if you just signed up, you have to do 12 dines before you'll get 25 mi/$ with AA! So it'd be a good thing to do a bunch of those cheap dines ANYWAY (as long they end up working AT LEAST for AA miles), not just for the purpose of seeing whether you double dip...
