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.

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?

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.

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.
