There is a bar on Essex (137 Essex) that's doing it right now. They also have "Asian fusion" hour d'ourves. Whatever. I can get five dumplings for a buck, or 3 spring rolls for a buck, or "pig intestines in fancy sauce" downstairs. Fusion. Who needs it.

We could fight with each-other over who gets to pay the check-- it will almost seem like we actually like one another (even though we both just want the bonus miles!)

Fed Planner: The restaurant in SAT is N"awlin's Creole Kitchen. It's at 2351 E. Commerce downtown. Maybe on the River Walk? The only reason I haven't gone to check it out is that we tend to go downtown only when we have time to kill.
Everyone else: I am signed up for the email notifications. I only get one or two a week. Now whether they sell the names to other businesses I don't know.
BTW: did you guys know that Idine's CS is now open til way late? Something like 11PM EST. Their agents are really great.

Be sure to make sure the restaurant exists. We tried going to the 20 mile / $ place in Palo Alto, CA and not only was it not there, it appeared that it hadn't been for some time.

I've been at Dinners where everyone gave their own credit card! Eleven pieces of plastic for ONE check!
Now that may fly ( pun intended) at Catman's
expensive places, Butt ry pulling that at a moderate to inexpensive I Dine establishment.

Actually since I was targeted for the NW double partner miles promo I can use my NW Visa and get 42 miles to the dollar! Unfortunately the partner double up is capped at 5,000 miles during the program, but for now not a bad deal.

I live very close to Hotel @MIT also. I would recommend Royal India (which is right across the street from All Asia). It has very good Indian food and happens to be on Idine too. And their $5.95 lunch buffet can't be beat.

I just noticed that one restaurant that had been listed as 20 miles is now coming up with 10. I wonder how long any of these restaurants will offer 20, if you have to check moments before you dine out to be sure...just what the deal is. Has any one else noticed this. It was Bar Celona Tapas in Chicago that changed.
