I definitely am, but it won't be until Oct and later.
Are you signed up for AAdvantage Dining? Have you considered eshopping?
I am, and I have, but like I said earlier, the miles-to-$ spent aren't as high as they need to be for it to be a better deal, right? I guess that with shopping and dining you're getting something else out of the deal, but I don't really want to be stuck having to buy something I don't really want/need if it's going to cost me more.
With respect to the dining, I believe that in principle it's a great program, but in 2 years of being members of both UA and AAs program, we've
never eaten at a participating restaurant where we paid the bill, not even by accident. There aren't any close to where we live, and the "nicer" restaurants that we'll get in the car and drive to never participate.
