Idine will only let you register a credit card for one program. If you belong to flyaway airlines plan and takemethere airlines, and both are Idine, you can only register the card at one. You have to use different credit cards for the other programs.
Idine sends an e-mail when ever I collect miles, I keep those in a folder in the e-mail system, when the miles post I delete the e-mail, any left there are miles that have not posted. But I have never had a problem with miles not posting.
Butcherbird hit it right on the head too, never use a credit card that isn't part of a program to pay for a meal. It's a pleasant surprize to see that expensive meal come in as part of the program, just as much as the diner you were just driving by and stopped for breakfast in the middle of noplace.
