Elite in How Many Different RewardsNetwork Programs?
 
With all the promos over the past year or so and the fact I eat lunch at RewardsNetwork restaurants at least three times a week (KC has a great selection of restaurants!) along with assorted dinners and business meals (love the $100 meals I get to expense!!!), I am now elite with Delta, American, Midwest, and Priority Club ... obviously I lost a few points when I switched from Delta (my previous program of choice that I've been elite in for years) first to American, then Midwest, then most recently Priority Club, but chasing after the different promotions has made it worth it for me. Anyone else as fickle as I am?

I commend you! I, a mere iDine piker, am elite in all of... er... uh... one! At that, most of my dining past the monthly 1500 / 500 bonus have been going to Lady JDiver's card / account - our effort has been successful, and her AAdvantage "miles ever earned" ticked to 2,005,881. AAdvantage Platinum for Life, 4 eVIPs. Yesss! ^

Four for me (AA, AS, DL, PC)
 
Pretty much depends on who's got the best promo going. Right now, I can segue right into AA as soon as I fulfill the AS threshold.

Im elite in the United and AA programs and flip flop between who has the better bonuses. Right now Im hitting AA for their 5 extra miles per $.

I find the Dining Rewards a good way to top of the mileage accounts when your on the threshold to getting a reward ticket.

Blush to admit
 
I'm elite in PC, AA, NW, MW and twice each in DL, and Continental under my wife's FF number. I'm out of town five days a week about 47 weeks a year and spent the last year in Manhattan. I've mastered the split into two different cards request and do it as necessary for bonus promotions. I don't max every promotion ,but come pretty close

Just Elite in two...
 
AA and PC as these are the only ones in each category that I use. This enables me to maximize my points, particulalry during bonus events.

Currently I'm elite in AA, UA, NW, BA, PC based on last year, plus DL (which I just joined this summer), AA, and UA already elite-requalified for next year. But BA is dropping out, and they and NW and PC haven't run any worthwhile bonuses (that don't require ridiculous spend) so far this year, and so I'm not elite-requalified on those, and don't know if I will be before this year ends.

What do you have to do to elite-requalify?

Just one, AA. You see, I'm working on hitting that magic 1 million AA miles in Idine, at which time I receive the unstated Gold benefit: free dessert. I am especially looking forward to Idine AA Plat which, in addition to free dessert, automatically gets a table without waiting in the queue.

I just hope I hit these milestones before the unpublished benefits go away....I'm only a couple of hundred thou away from Idine Gold.

American, Delta, United and as of today, in fact, Priority Club.

Wife is also elite in all noted above, except PC. :)

Of greater interest, however, is how many miles to date have you earned in each program from your dines?

AMERICAN AADVANTAGE

NJ - Program to date total Miles Earned: 62,761
SO - Program to date total Miles Earned: 18,856


DELTA SKYMILES

NJ - Program to date total Miles Earned: 70,888 (Not including current 5,000 mile bonus already qualifed for)
SO - Program to date total Miles Earned: 3,029 (Not including current 5,000 mile bonus already qualifed for)


UNITED MILEAGE PLUS

NJ - Program to date total Miles Earned: 72,626
SO - Program to date total Miles Earned: 40,893

Are you making this stuff up?

Out of curiosity, how many miles have you earned through i-dine? I only discovered it last year and am at 32K YTD, and 53K since I joined.
