idine 20 miles/$
 

I'm not sure if others were aware of this but I recently noticed a restaurant in Cambridge, MA giving twenty miles per $ spent. Is this new? I've seen most at 10 and some lower than 10, but 20? Needless to say I will be eating here soon.

It is a brand new option. There appear to be very few places anywhere offering it [yet], so good luck to you with it!

I just noticed that the delta idine site says "With SkyMiles Dining you can earn up to 10 miles for every dollar that you spend". Any other instances or could this be a dreaded typo?

In Orange County CA there are three restaurants offering 20 miles. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

We have one here in San Antonio. I keep meaning to go. It's a terrific offer!

$.05/ mile. And dinner. Not bad at all. There's got to be one in NYC...

paradocs,

What restaurant in SA?

fp

There's quote a few in the listings, one per page (out of 20) or so.

Whoa, that is pretty good. I would assume that the restaurants listed as "40% off" on the www.idine.com website are the 20/$ restaurants, though I could not find that stated anywhere on the site.

It seems like a reasonable assumption... is anyone here subscribed to Idine's email alerts? Are they any good? Worth giving my name out and gettting an additional 5 spams/day?

If the place is halfway decent I think this is a great deal! Let me know if you find (and like) a place in The Village/West Village.

Combined with multiple visits per month, this would be an amazing deal. Now if the food was only edible.....

It may not be the village, (and I live in the East Village) but it's close. Fraunces Tavern in the financial district.

Did dinner here a few weeks ago, got the 20 miles/per & had a pretty good dinner.

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. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
