2021 Rollcall

I'm sticking a fork into this RN year, 27,553 AA miles buoyed by a useful partnering with ChowNow and the first meaningful dining bonus in probably a decade.

I had a good 2021. 2,855 AA miles on 17 dines. Almost all of them were surprises too. This is my first time at VIP since 2011 I think.

Since this thread is almost entirely for my own entertainment, I’ll hijack it to mention that I’ve already secured elite status for 2023. Maybe a P.R.

Impressive (I think?) Jailer. Doesn't that mean that you dined out at iDine places almost every day?

It's a lot easier in some places than other places to make all or most dining out be at Rewards Network (+ ChowNow) places.

And, in turn, someone (like me) who doesn't really cook may dine out (or get take out) much more than someone who routinely cooks at home. So while I don't know offhand what my 2021 totals were, I do eat out at (or get take out from) Rewards Network (+ ChowNow) places several days each week.

(Note: While the forum title has not been updated, Reward Network has stopped using the term iDine. First it stopped being the overall program name and only mean the cashback version, and now they've totally stopped using it.)

A conference at the beginning of the year in Phoenix, with its stable of decent RN-eateries, provided a number of two-a-day opportunities. Even a three-fer if I correctly recall some pre-dinner drinks.

With all RN miles counting for AA status via loyalty points, the EOY math might become interesting, especially when adding in Tums and larger waisted pants from the AA shopping portal.
