Is the 500 mile bonus for $150 per month still in effect with the 250 miles per $15 dine promo? Are there further incentives active for spending more than $150 per month?

Please confirm my calculations....

SPEND: $15 at 10 separate dines ($150 total).
RECEIVE:
10 miles per $1 @ $150 (1500 miles)
250 miles each of 10 dines (2500 miles)
500 bonus miles for $150 (500 miles)
1 mile per $1 with Citi Plat. (150 miles)

Thus, spending $150 can potentially earn as many as 4650 miles (assuming minimum spent at 10 dines) ultimately granting 31 miles per $1 (or 465 miles each dine)?

Yes, the 500 miles for AA Gold/Plat/EXPs for $150 month spend is independent of and can be combined with any other RN promo.

So your math sounds fine, except that I suspect you will have a hard time paying exactly $15 for each dine, unless they're all cheap dines and you are just adding a huge tip to get it to $15. And if you go a bit over, while you earn more, it no longer works out quite to 31 miles per $. (Nor does it, of course, if you gover exactly $150 total.)
