Our favorite, local Thai restaurant (found independent of any idine search) is a member. We usually eat there -12 times a month. Besides the normal 10 miles/$, it'll get us 25,000 bonus miles under the 6 month promotion which doesn't involve any behavior modification other than noting whether we are just before the end of a month or at the start of a new month.
