Yet another way to earn airline miles in through dining at restaurants. Rewardsnetwork.com runs a dining rewards program for some airlines and hotels. Basically you sign up for whichever program you want to earn miles for and register your credit card at the website. If you dine at one of over 11,000 restaurants that participate, you will earn miles or points with that program. It couldn’t be easier, there no portal to click on, no gift cards to buy, just register your credit card once and use it to pay at the restuarant. You may be surprised to find you earn points for dining at a restaurant that was part of the network.
The included airlines and hotels are:
- Alaska Mileage Plan
- American Airlines AAdvantage
- Delta Skymiles
- jetBlue True Blue
- Southwest Rapid Rewards
- Spirit free
- United MileagePlus
- Hilton Honor
- IHG Rewards Club
It’s very easy to sign up, here’s what the website looks like:
You can join multiple programs but you will only be allowed to register a credit card one program. So you will NOT be able to register your Chase Freedom Visa card at all seven programs and earn points in each – you can only register the Chase Freedom Visa number at one program. You can register a different credit card with a different program if you would like.
The hardest thing for me is to remember to keep registering new credits cards at the website.
Need to Knows
- Registering your credit card through one of the RewardsNetwork.com’s dining plans is an easy ‘set it and forget it’ way to earn miles at restaurants
- You can join multiple programs but a single credit card can on be registered with one program
- Don’t forget to register all new credit cards when you receive them
