Well, what I am reading on their website says otherwise. It says that the VIP rate is 5 miles per dollar, but currently there is a promo:
Special AAdvantage DiningSM elite member bonus extended through 12/31/07.
"5+5=10 AAdvantage miles per dollar spent* (valid thru 12/31/07)"
Once this ends, it's back to 5 miles per dollar for VIPs, which appears to be the standard rate for VIPs with no bonuses. If you choose to rate your dine, from Jan 1 2008 to Mar 31 2008, you will get another 5 miles per dollar bonus. But the BASE RATE for VIPs is 5 miles per dollar, and will continue to be so in 2008, all promotions aside.
