Got an email from RewardsNetwork this afternoon.

"The good news is that as a VIP Member of the AAdvantage DiningSM program, you're currently earning 5 American Airlines AAdvantage miles per dollarour highest level of rewards. The great news is that all of your dines this year have made you a VIP for next year too! So, keep on dining and enjoying our great restaurants, bars and clubs."
So it looks like we won't have to go order 12 cups of coffee on Jan 1

On the other hand, I'm in NW too (not as primary), and it keeps telling me I'm 5, then 4, now 3 dines away from requalifying for VIP. (I'm already VIP now, so if I'm not requalifying for next year, what in the world would be the point of telling me I'm requalifying???)
Same at DL.
(At AA and UA I requalified long ago, due to better bonuses, and I've not gotten an email as described above from either yet, unless it was buried in one of those useless "places for you to dine" emails they've been sending out in recent months, which simply duplicate stuff I already know from routinely doing searches around home and work on the website. And at AS and PC, I wasn't qualifed for this year to begin with.)

Neither of the airlines where I'm already requalified (AA and UA) has yet sent me an email explicitly saying that, but the two airlines where I'm not yet requalified (NW and DL) keep telling me over and over now (on the website and in every email) how many more dines I need to requalfiy for being VIP through 2009. (I'm already qualified through 2008 at both.)
However, only one of those two (I forget whether it was NW or DL) sent me an email specifically devoted to telling me I needed to dine more to requlalify. Other than that, by emails I mean other emails like "you're earned miles" while happen to mention how many more dines I need to requalify (among mentioning oodles of other junk).

I've also received my requal for AAdvantage Dining.
Now, to see if they retain the "rate your dine" extra five points in 2009...
