iDine question- Same restaurant chain, multiple locations.. does it count seperately?
iDine's running a promo for NW (at least) where if you eat at 8 restaurants, you get 3000 miles. Not bad for a snack and a soda 
here's the question... there's a local 'fusion greek' takeout restaurant here which has several locations, all iDine. Would they count as multiple locations per this promo? I mean, there are several different buildings etc... think it would but I just want to ask..
Thanks in advance!

Are you talking about Daphne's? 
Anyways, AFAIK each location would count as a separate dine. I tested it out at Daphne's (there are like 12 within 10 miles of me) and they've all counted. ^

Yes, as far as I know, they will each count seperately. Unless they submit all charges to a "central office". But I don't think they do.
It is not an idine restraurant, but if you go to say Red Lobster, the charge is from "store # xxxx, Hartford" and "store # xxxx, Las Vegas". They do not all say "Red Lobster, Miami (or where ever their HQ is)". Each location has their own machines, so it should be counted serarately.
I am doing the same with the UA and US promos (again 2/4/6/8 with no minimum), just going to Idine takeouts and getting a soda. My UA max bonus cost be under $20. Now I'm working on the US max, again for $20 or less!

I live by the Tustin Marketplace, so I'm there every month (for AA, it's limited to 1 visit per month
