idine--register that replacement card
 

I had been wondering where some idine miles were. idine has usually been consistent in posting my miles. Then, I realized that I had gotten an replacement AmEx card. The number was changed slightly for security purposes, and I had not registered the new card. Talk abour my bad! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

The moral of the story is be sure to think about idine when credit card numbers are changed!

Even when you shouldn't have to, this is true!

I had a new card issued when the old one expired. No number change, just the usual replacement every few years.

Idine's system doesn't update the expiry date automatically, which is fair enough. However, they don't even bother to inform you when the only card you have with them has expired! When I realised that the old expiry date was on their system still, I found there was no way to edit the expiry date and yet I couldn't add the same card again because it had the same card number! I emailed them and they updated the expiry date for me and, after I sent in copies of receipts, credited my account appropriately for missed dining.

Similar problem for mew was that I did not realize that my AMEX card and my wife's AMEX card (same account) had different numbers.

Did you try to get the miles? (I have not tried, and I wondered if it's worth the effort.)

Since all of the charges for both cards come on one statement, I was able to send them a copy of the statement and they let it slide.

Does anyone know if you can link an extra credit card (not linked to any other programs) to a child's account? Do the names have to match between the card and the iDine account?

1. Yes.
2. No.

I have done this in the past. I do not know if this still works, but I linked an extra credit card of mine at one point to my sister's mileage account. Worked like a charm. Has anyone had luck with this recently? It might come in handy with the NW FFF promotion, where you need 5 partner credits, and you can earn multiple credits from iDine.

ec336 is correct. You can do this with as many FF accounts as you wish, and switch as often as you like.

I have my parents' and girlfriend's credit-cards also added to my FF accounts since they are not into the FF deal. So I luck out http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif)

Any FF# with any name can be attached to any credit card. Great way to make sure that miles don't expire.

I was worried about this as I had just used my card with the new expiration date at a restaurant and was worried that I wouldn't get credit. However, when I called idine, they said that they already had the new expiration date in place. I hadn't told them earlier, so it must have been automatic.
