In addition to the UA bonus, there are also a Delta SkyMiles and AAdvantage IDINE miles bonuses, respectively.
Although I am elite in Priority Club Rewards dining program, the only "bonus" that appeared was a "Fast Track" bonus for this year -- irrelevant to me.
Having called up IDINE, they confirmed the miles bonuses above, as well as supposedly only the Fast Track PC bonus -- which I think is open to all.
Perusing the other IDINE participants, it also appears that there is a NW "Fast Track" bonus open to all.
Continental, predictably, shows nothing to this non-elite in the program.
I have not checked the other programs, i.e. Midwest, Alaska, etc.
I'll leave it to others to post the respective Terms and Conditions for the bonuses mentioned above.

Alaska and Northwest, spend $250 between 1/28 and 3/31 gets you Fast Track to VIP Status, useless for most of us.
American, get 250 bonus miles, for each dine over $25 between 1/28 and 3/31, no limit.
Delta, spend $250 between 1/28 and 3/31 gets you 2000 bonus miles.
United, earn 500 bonus miles for every $100 spent between 1/28 and 3/15. 10,000 bonus max.
USAirways, spend $250 between 1/28 and 3/31 gets you 1000 bounus miles.
Continental, nothing!! Not even the rate you dine bonus. Just 5 miles per dine.

Fairly useless for me as I don't generally spend $25 a shot - had they begun these on Jan 1st, I might've been able to qualify for the Delta aggregate from one recent larger-than-usual dine.

NW registration making problem?
I registered for the NW promo, not quite understanding it. AFAIK I'm already VIP through 2008, having had 20+ dines in 07. Would this registration undo it, particularly since it's doubtful I'll spend $250 before 3/31?

2008 Q1 - 250 bonus miles for $25 dine - must register first
I don't have time to cut and paste all the T&C's right now, but at least the Delta, American, and United versions of IDine have new bonus offers starting today until March 31. Check the respective websites for details.
True to form, each one has it's own peculiar rules:
AA: Earn 250 Aadvantage Bonus Miles for every qualified dine of $25 or more through 3/31/08.
Delta: Earn 2000 bonus miles when you spend $250 through 3/31/08.
United: Earn 500 bonus miles for every $100 you spend through 3/15/08.
Others can flesh out all the details and any other airline that's participating

That promo seems to be for people who did not qualify last year for 2008 VIP status. Since you already have VIP status, there's no point in registering for it.

The website registration for the AA bonus is down: all attempts this morning to register were met with the warning: "We've encountered a problem registering you for the bonus offer. Try again later or call customer service". Finally, I called CS and they registered me. Attempting then, after logging out and back in (I never trust this stuff) says "you've already registered", so I'm good to go. This may help someone from reinventing the wheel with AA.

Aadvantage 250 Mile Bonus For Dines $25 And Over.......
For those of you who have more than one (1) credit card registered to your AA account -- just remember, you can only earn one (1) 250 mile bonus per calendar day at participating restaurants.
