Chain restaurants: do they count separately?
 
Noticed in some areas they have different locations of chains. If that chain has the : "one visit per month" limitation: are you able to go to different locatgions of the same chain and count separaely each?

I visit different once a month "Daphne's" and it's no problem. Works like a charm.

Yes, but make sure the other locations you visit are actually listed on the program. I made the mistake of visiting a different location of the same chain, but I didn't remember if it was on the program or not. It was the same chain and there were a few locations listed on AAdvantage Dining, so I thought this location must be participating too. I later noticed the particular location I went to was never on the AAdvantage Dining Program list and subsequently, I didn't get credit. I also found out later that it was owned by a different franchisee.

Lesson is...pay attention to the list.

Also, restaurants drop out of the program automatically when they hit their contracted amount, and even different restaurants in the same chain can be assigned different amounts, and therefore drop off the program at different times. I got caught by that once (almost a second time, except I caught it by checking and went to another location that was still in it's two week "leaving the program" phase rather than having already dropped off).

All of the foregoing are good points: but as long as they are member they each count per I/RN.
