I finally got a response and was told they should post in 7-10 business days. Almost not worth the trouble given there were $12 lunch runs.

I noted a blog article about MileagePlus Dining providing up to 5000 bonus miles to first-time members who sign-up using the special link and proceed to spend a certain dollar amount at their partner restaurants. It also came with free VIP status.

I signed-up through the link and dined at several of their listed restaurants. However, MileagePlus Dining is now saying it is an offer only for targeted people to whom they sent an email invitation. The terms/conditions do not say anything about it being a targeted offer, and when I signed-up with the link, it specifically provided the terms/conditions for VIP patrons.

I feel cheated since I am no longer a new enrollee and never received any sign-up bonus.

Do I have a legitimate case here?

Can I double dip with Yelp Cash Back (operator: Empyr)?

My card is registered with UA MileagePlus dining (operator: Rewards Network).

I can't see why not. The trouble is when you're registered with the same operating program.

Rewards network does MP Dining, as well as AA, I think WN and also Upromise. I know I tried to register my card with UPromise, and it told me I was eligible for the in-store shopping cash back, but not with dining becaue it was already registered with a UPromise program. I removed the card from MP Dining, and a few days later, I was all good to set it up with UPromise dining program again.

FYI, Empyr is the payment processor, so they may or may not actually operate Yelp Cash Back. Empyr is also the payment processor for Mogl, most other dining programs that aren't Rewards Network, and possibly Thanks Again (by Points.com/Points International). If you try a new program, and it won't let you add the card (and it will even tell you which conflicting program the card is already registered in), then you know that it's processed by Empyr and you can't double dip.

I tried to triple dip once, and was successful. There was a restaurant that participated in RN, was a participating "merchant" in Thanks Again, and showed up as a cash back dining location in Mogl. I dined, and the RN miles posted, the Mogl cash back posted, and my Thanks Again points posted as MOGL - <restaurant name>. That restaurant has since dropped out of the RN programs, but can still be found on the other two. I think TA let me double dip only because adding a card to TA is program side, and they don't check the validity with Empyr.

Apologies if this has already been posted or doesn't belong here (I'm new and still figuring this all out), but thought it'd be helpful to some:


https://dining.mileageplus.com/


Sign up now, and you'll get 500 MileagePlus Miles immediately, and then up to another 1,000 bonus miles for first meal >$25 at participating restaurant, and another 500 for subsequent meals up to 2,500 within 30 days.

Online members get 3 pts/dollar when dining at these restaurants.

Hello,
Do you have to Dine-in the restaurant, can I order togo and still quality for bonuses? thanks!

But those threads are a few years old? I hadn't seen anything recent about it being back with the new offer.

RandomBaritone

FT is so active that if every new thread posted were allowed to remain, there would be dozens of new threads per day, and all the great information accumulated over the last several years would be buried. And indeed, as if to prove a point, the MP Dining offer you referenced is in fact nearly identical to the offers they've made numerous times in the past.

To-go orders count toward MP Dining as long as you pay the restaurant itself with an enrolled card. They don't count if you order from a third-party service.

Never tried to go. I would imagine it should work since your registered credit card is charged. This is the easiest way to earn a few miles without flying.
Especially for those who do not fly on UA but would like to keep their miles alive every 18 months.

cogitoergognome

Oh, I see. So the correct etiquette here would have been to just reply in one of those linked older threads, or this one, about the new (returned) offer instead of posting a new thread. Gotcha.

Sorry for the clutter -- still learning how to FT properly

If i order $10 worth of food and $20 gift card from the same restaurant for future use, will it qualify for min $25 spend? thanks!!!

1KChinito

It should, as long as $30 is charged to your registered credit card.
