Unless, I'm misunderstanding the promotion, I believe everyone can get a bonus (although, likely from US, not directly from RN) on US Airways DM Dining through US Airways current promo -

Number of purchases/dines.............Bonus miles
1 - 3................................................ 25%
4 - 6................................................ 50%
7 - 9................................................ 75%
10 - 12........................................... 100%

Here's the link: http://shopping.usairways.com/promot...PromoCode=SR13

I will be able to earn the 100% bonus very rapidly. I dine more than 12 times almost every month. Plus, I have to purchase some stuff on-line for my family.

RN vs Living Social

Perhaps old news to most folks here, but I never caught this before for the "Living Social via a FF shopping portal vs RN" points debate:

FF shopping portal T&Cs for Living Social: "Excludes Takeout & Delivery deals, LivingSocial Plus subscriptions, or LivingSocial Rewards Visa Card sign-ups. Offer not valid on Charity or Promotional deals."

New rule? I don't remember seeing this aspect earlier in the year.

...so I guess there's no reason to use Takeout & Delivery deals via Living Social (2-3x, but sometimes a 6x bonus) instead of RN with a registered CC (3x or 5x for VIPs).

The $50.00 per transaction is very limiting on this promo.

To which $50.00 per transaction condition are you referring? The minimum doesn't appear to apply to DM Dining. In fact, it seems to apply only to on-line portal purchases.

Here's the T&C language:

Qualifying Dividend Miles StoreFront transactions must also meet a minimum purchase amount of $50.00 to be deemed an eligible transaction.

Thanks for pointing that out. I wish they would spell out exactly what spending is required for dining.

I am just going to dine at least 12 times. I refuse to worry about spending limits because they didn't list any.

Happy dining!

Did you get an email about this Big Spender Bonus? I didn't, but I went to check my US Bonuses tab, and it's there!

So thanks a lot for pointing it out here! ^

I'm not clear to whether you get any bonus (from the "Qualifying Activity 10 – 12 = 100%" bonus) on your 13th+ dine. The way it's phrased sounds like it may be capped to your first 12 dines only?

I read it the same way as you do - capped at 12.

Yes, this promo is capped at 12 transactions only I believe. And no I did not receive an email about the Big Spender promo. I found it at my bonus tab as well.

While I didn't get the email about my US $100=250 Big Spender Bonus at US, I did get an email yesterday about the double-on-five-dines Big Spender Bonus at UA.
