Wrong date on website
I'm looking at several restaurants on the Rewards Network website. When I go to "Restaurant Details" I see a list of the days of the weeks, but with the dates incorrect. For example, it shows Thursday as September 23 and Sunday as Sept 26. That's rather confusing. This is the first time I've noticed it, so maybe my browser's busted or something.
I'm assuming that the days of the week that are checked off are the days that are ineligible for rewards, and not the dates as the ineligible days are consistent for the restaurants I've been monitoring.
Is anyone else seeing the wrong dates listed in "Restaurant Details?"
Example:
Maza in Chicago shows the following:
SUN
Sep 26
5 + 5 Miles
per dollar
Interestingly enough, when I look at Spiaggia, which has the reservation option (as discussed in another Idine thread), the dates are correct. For example:
Sun,Sep 25,2005 80 5 +5 miles 05:30 PM

I have seen some listings with the date numbers incorrect also.
But the thing that gets me is the restaurants listed that show (for example) the following for valid rewards:
Sunday = yes
Monday = yes
Tuesday = yes
Wednesday = yes
Thursday = yes
Friday = no
Saturday = no
I understand no rewards on Friday and Saturday. But once I drove to this restraurant on TUESDAY ("yes") and found a sign on the door of their hours. It said that they are open every day EXCEPT Tuesday. So why list Tuesday as a valid day???
When I next went to this restaurant, I was told that they have ALWAYS been closed on Tuesday. Again, why is Tuesday listed as a valid dine? (BTW - the listing still shows Tuesday as valid!)

Tuesday is a valid day as you would earn rewards if you were able to make a purchase that day. You just aren't actually able to make any charges because the place is closed.
I'm guess that the reason it's like this is that the restaurant probably fills out some paperwork or something that instructs Idine to block certain days. In your example, Friday & Sat are always to be blocked. They probably didn't bother submitting anything for Tuesday, or perhaps there not even a mechanism to show that the restaurant is closed. I bet that if a restaurant were closed for Thanksgiving or Christmas, the website would still show those days as valid earning days. On the other hand, it would show them as invalid if they fell on Friday or Sat.
Idine really should put more details in the restaurant details section about the restaurants hours and days of operation.
Sidenote:
The dates are now fixed. I guess Idine went in a fixed it because I remember seeing the website down earlier today when I went to check stuff.
