Where does Idine rank in your arsenal of miles earning tools?
After credit cards, I earn the second most amount of airline miles via Idine, perhaps three or four times what I earn flying. It makes me feel just the tiniest bit guilty, but I’ll get over it.

It depends on the airline (one of the FF programs I belong to doesn't support iDine), but on average across all airlines I'd say it's probably 2nd after hotels (since I do 100ish+ one-night hotel stays a year, but most associated with commuting so no flying or car rental involved) or 3rd after credit cards, varying from month to month and year to year not only depending on how much I iDine vs how much I charge but also how many iDine bonuses I can participate in vs how many credit card bonuses I can (since on both some months or years I may earn more in bonuses than "regular").

Plus there is nothing more fun than getting a "surprise" from iDine when I occasionally eat at an iDine restaurant w/o knowing it!

2. Almost always the person asking the question is apparently not aware of my website. (Else the question would not have been asked.) So I do a service to that poster and anyone interested in the question by directing them to my site.

Idine is close to the bottom in my miles- and points-earning tools. Flying, hotel stays, credit card use all far outstrip it.
In the past year, I've earned about a couple thousand miles from idine, vs. hundreds of thousands of air miles, and hundreds of thousands of hotel points from flying, staying, and cc use.

I like IDine for the game!
sources of my miles: flights, credit cards, hotels, FTD.com, Kellogg's promotions, IGOUGO.com, IDine, E-Rewards, Opinion Place and soon AAdvantage e-shopping should come in with a lot of points from purchases I've been making.
I'm really surprised no one else has mentioned Kellogg's.
