Any iDine bonuses over there ?
Once in a while they have a one-time bonus for a particular airline (or cashback), most of the times these require registration.
If you are aware of any of these, please share the knowledge.
Just an update: iDine http://www.idine.com handles virtually all Miles-for-Dining programs as well as Upromise dining and their proprietary cash-back dining. All major airlines included, the registration is per Credit card #, so if you have 10 Credit Cards, you can be registered for 10 different programs. By the same token, no double-dipping is possible within iDine. All airlines earn 10 miles per $ only once per month per restaraunt; by using multiple programs it can be circumvented.

Continentatl gave a bonus last month--not sure why. I didn't sign up for anything. Mabye I hit a certain no. of restaurants in the same month.
Did not realize you could not get teh same place twice in a single month.
iDine is a great way to top off an account. I'm getting my orphan CO miles to an even 5,000 then will transfer them to HIlton.

In the past year there have been 500 mile bonuses offered to NWA and Delta members who used IDine 5 times within a time period.
The big bonus this year was 10,000 on NWA FlyFreeFaster promo which ends today and only required an NWA flight after 5/1/02 and 5 partner credits by 7/31/02, all of which could be IDine uses.

I don't know. Ask on the Hilton Forum. I suspect it may be possible, but you get killed on the conversion. Transferring miles into HH you basically get 2 HH for 1 FF. Transfering out you take a hit, however. I don't plan to transfer out--will spend the points at Hiltn.
