For those people who had Transmedia and were converted to Idine, there was the option of no fee and 15% discount. I preferred the miles. For those paying $49, it's about $200 spending just to break even so you have to know what you are spending. IDine has always given me miles for restaurants who dropped out of the program, but were listed in a directory. Those that have day to day restrictions are listed separately under a location, so if you don't want to bother with finding out, just don't go to those restaurants. I have found some pretty good restaurants by using the book, so I love the program. Now, under AA's program, the web says you have unlimited visits up to $600 and I have told them by phone of this, and they say it is a mistake, but they have not fixed it. I don't know how they would handle payment with a subsequent visit in a month.
