How often do you check the restaurant listings?
I check the listing at least twice a week, usually more. I like to discover what restaurants have joined the program and I want to know which ones are leaving. The funny thing is that I don't even eat out that often nowadays. Over the summer, I was eating out at least twice a week so it made sense to check the listings often. Now, it makes less sense and it's more of a hobby. I get excited when I find a new place near me that participates or I find a place that I want to try.

Usually check them every week or 2, unless I'm traveling.
It is exciting to find a new place nearby. But I usually check to make sure the cheap (soda) joints are still in the progam!

Toward the end of the month - that's when the warnings some restaurants are leaving - and again after the beginning of the month, when I can see new members and changes that went unannounced. Once more, within a couple of days, if I am going to travel to a destination with iDine restaurants.

Every time I'm about to order from or go to a restaurant that I think is idine -- but only because of the UAL promo where I'm much more focused than normal on making sure I'm getting credit I think I'm going to get.
