How have I forgotten about iDine for so long? And it looks like I am late to teh party; there doesn't appear to be many great promo's for the airlines I accumulate in.
A silly question: for those that have a 'welcome to 'idine' bonus, can you churn them? Meaning, get the bonus from UA, flip the cards over to US to get the bonus, move on to Delta?

You can get the welcome bonus ONCE for each airline Frequent Flyer program. You can earn them one at a time, and move the cards around, or you can earn them simultaneously, by assigning a card to each airline.
Keep in mind, you will have to leave one card in each account to keep it active. This doesn't have to be a card you use, as any debit or credit card will work. Even a cancelled credit card will work as a place holder.

Yes, just change registration of the card to the different airline.

Is anyone else finding it hard to keep up with all the different bonus offers?
Some require a minimum spend, most don't. Some overlap. At least one requires you complete the restaurant survey. Every one has a different beginning and finish date. Whew, it's not as easy as it once was!

That's nice but it really doesn't help me either when I'm sitting at a RN restaurant with the check in one hand and my wallet in the other and I'm asking myself: Let me see, is it the AA offer that I already completed and the DL offer that I'm working on, or is it the other way around?
With that in mind: When I've completed using a card for something (be it dining or a signup bonus), until I get home (so I can actually remove the card), I put it upside down in my wallet. (Nomrally I take care to not put any other cards upside down, so this is my sign to myself that I probably don't want to use that card.)
Also, spreadsheets are your friends.

A shoot-the-moon opportunity?
How soon can one come back to the airline RN program you've severed, and get another bonus? Do the RN program"s" thwart this? As I've mentioned in passing elsewhere, earning by churning all the enrollment bonuses trivializes the difference between non-elite and elite status, until the music stops -- either when the earning period expires or Katie bars the door.
Depending on the answer, I can envision one of those saga FlyerTalk posts from someone who has the time, followed by all the "Shame on you!" comments, followed by the classic FT uptake, then, "Anybody get theirs yet?" etc. etc., then *all fall down*, across a couple thousand posts... as Katie at Rewards Network, who processes "SkyMiles Rewards Network" bonuses one minute and "Dividend Miles Rewards Network" bonuses the next, gets a little backed up.....
I have found one speed bump (challenge): Each time you leave a Rewards Network program for "another" one, even though they are "different (airline) programs" for elite status, you can't use a username that you've ever used before with RN. ...Only a problem for those of us who are username memory-challenged, of course.
Or, am I just the newb saying these things while the sages stand around saying, "Oh really.....? Why, I didn't know that..... Hmmm.....
