Not quite every day, and in this particular week, I was traveling every day except 1, so no choice but to eat out! In fact, it was one day less because the only participating restaurant I like in the town I was in on Easter weekend was closed Easter day. (The town has only two particpating restaurants, and I tried the other once, and never again.)
I work far away from home, on compressed workweek, so I'm away from home Mon/Tue/Wed evening, so I dypically have to either eat out or get takeout from a supermarket deli those evenings. Those 3 days therefore accounts for the majority of my dines (on weeks when I'm not traveling to someplace else in the US over the weekend).
But as you can see, they're mostly cheap dines (since I'm dining by myself on most of these dines, and it's all on my own dime, of which I don't have a huge amount). Thus I have trouble when RN does promos that only work with $25+ dines (as they have several times in the past). Compared to those, this promo isn't so bad, in that at least it works on every single dine.

I'm seeing my April bonuses post, and as noted upthread the format is different, and I'm seeing each dine matched as for example:
04/06/12 DINING BONUS-2 EXTRA MILES/$ 0 20 20
04/06/12 DINING REWARDS NET-WASABI & SUSHI 50 0 50
The change in format makes me think that RN originally planned not to bonus April, but due to poor/misleading wording the path to least resistance was to continue the bonus thru April.

Just check my AA account again. Now the bonus are posted.
Jailer, I believe you are correct. I am sure they received many calls due to this issue.

After nearly two weeks, I had thought Alaska wasn't participating in this "extension" at all, but with this week's transmittal came a lump sum 2x for the dines I'd done at the beginning of the month.

Wow, thats a good get. For me at aa. Mine seem to post a week after doing the review. I have noticed that it depends when they turn in the receipts. Theres one place that doesn't even show up for review until after a week of my dine.

Is that old (in my opinion awful) promo still going on? If not, any idea when the next one might be rolled out. Hopefully it is significantly better and the good promos haven't died forever.

I remain very unhappy with their attempt at a "bonus co-pay" (deductible, threshold), which seems to benefit only those who'd accumulate that much not on their own dime anyway.

The only problem with this is that most restaurants will only give you miles on either the first $500 or the first $1000 that you spend depending on the restaurant.

Clicked the Get Ahead Bonus on the Mileage Plus dining page and saw that it was indeed extended to 6/30. Hey better than nothing I say.
Although, I did have to re-register for it (even though it said I was already registered)-got a confirmation email. I did click the register button and now it's gone, so I did it just to be on the safe side
