Let's see, I particpate in AA, UA, DL, AS, and PC. And I used to also participate in NW (but now that's merged into DL). (And originally I also participated in BA, but I think that may have stopped before I joined up with AS.)
Then, on the other hand, I have cards that I don't like to use for dining. One I used only for gas/grocery/drug because I get 4+ UA miles that way, but it complicates my "accounting" to have non-GGD purchase on that card, so I only use it as a UA backup (in case the restaurant has problems with my UA primary). Then my Diners I don't tend to use, because RN has problems taking aco.... statements from Diners given that Diners has two account numbers on the statement and the more prominent one is not the card number, and so Diners tends to reject that.
Then I have a Discover card, which during a quarter (typically Oct-Dec) where they give 5% for restaurants, I want to move it to whichever of these programs has the best (often meaning only) bonus that month.
All this makes it tough to always leave one current card active in every program. (And if you delete the last card from the program, they make the account inactive, so among other things you'll stop being invited to promos!)
So much simpler to leave cancelled or otherwise outdated cards in there just to keep every account with at least one card all the time, no matter how much I may want to move some of my other cards around.

I didn't think it's possible for the diner (end user) to remove the last card - doesn't that require a call to RN for them to do so, and close the account?

At any rate, sometimes I want to remove the last current card without closing the account, in which case the trick of being able to use an expired card is useful (and that's where all this discussion started).

anybody receive Delta 50% holiday bonus?
In addition to the promotion listed in the preceding post, Delta is running a SkyMiles partner prmotion during the holiday season and SkyMiles Dining is listed as one of the participants.
The link for the promotion is here:
https://www.delta.com/marketing/holidaybonus/index.jsp
I don't believe this is a targeted promotion so this could prove to be a nice bonanaza of miles this holiday season.
It would appear that if you have yet to paricipate in both promotions (unlike myself who already has racked up $200 in charges), one could earn 17.5 miles per $1.00 for your first $500 in charges, if you were to dine at restaurants that normally offer 5 miles per $1.00 charge.
Happy dining!

I had a small (unknown?) DL bonus post in early January - not sure whether it was related to this or not? I thought it would sweep weeks later, but ... who knows with these things?

The 50% Holiday Bonus (which involved a variety of Delta partners, not just Rewards Network) ended on January 15. The T&C indicates miles will be posted 4-6 weeks after the end of the promotion, so we probably have another 1-3 weeks before seeing any miles.

Anyone have any insight into this? Is the cited city even truly tracked or is it simply (secretly) just a general bonus for $25 spend? I'd call RN to ask, but that'd do me about as much good as pretending to call if it comes down to chasing up the bonus...

I received a similar offer, but for D.C. Actually, it indicated that I lived in DC when I actually live closer to Baltimore. I e-mailed RN to see if the DC burbs (that come up when searching for DC restaurants) would garner me the bonus or if it was only the DC proper... Never got a response (though a previous post re:NYC seems to clarify burbs probably okay). Would also like to know if it would work where I actually live, in the Baltimore area.

Thanks.

Also, after I clicked on the above link, I noticed that US is having a promo from March 1 to June 30, 2010. "All Double, No Trouble" gives you double miles for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday dines. You must also do the surveys. You do not have to register.
EDIT: THE PROMO IS ALSO FOR AA AND DL. FOR OTHER PROGRAMS PLEASE CHECK THEIR WEBSITES.

AS and PC are also in on the M, T, W double miles.
Looks like after Jan and Feb with zilch, 2x for 3 days/week is it for the rest of the first half of the year.
