Airline / FF Dining Program

OK, so how would this work. I registered for the AA dining prgram, as well as the US Air dining program. Both are affiliated with a particular restaurant in town. If I go to this particular restaurant and use the registered credit card witch is the same for both, will both my US Air and AA FF/ dining programs be credited for the one trip to this particular restaurant?

I believe no , only one will get it because if I am not mistaken it is the same company keeping track. You may want to use two different cards and go back twice.
I went to PJ's Steak house last week a few days later I got an email from AA saying they gave me over 500 miles for that dinner.

You'll probably only get one (it is the same company behind all those affinity programs) and I'm surprised that they haven't notified you that you can't have the same CC registered in both programs. Maybe you'll get lucky, let us know.

No, you will get the most recent one you signed up for and the other will not register.

As others have noted, if you use two different cards, you can get miles at the same place. I did that once by accident because I used one card at the bar and another for the meal. Got points on both programs for the same night out.

I had the card regerested to my son's United account. He just got credit, so I just changed it to my AA card. I also need to do my daughter's US Air. What I was thinking is this. Registering my hubby's card to my daughter's account. When going to the restaurant, have them split the bill between 2 credit cards as if we are both paying for our own meals. I would think that would work right?

That should work, Btw save your receipt. One time they did not give me credit and they wanted the receipt as proof.

Aren't the points/FFmiles accrued tied to the money spent, I don't follow your reasoning unless there are some 'bonus' points involved for each visit?

They are but this way you can update 2 different FF programs at one shot.

I had wondered the about that myself. I was already registered with the United program with my United credit card. I recently got an offer from Delta that gave 2000 bonus miles for eating at 4 different restaurants by Nov. 4. I signed up and noticed that the points were not going to United, but all were on Delta, which is fine for this promotion.

I'm getting miles in United for using my United card, and the restaurant points and the bonus in Delta. So both accounts are actively receiving miles.

Surely A-M eats out more than once a year.

We eat out at least once a month, but have never eaten at any of the restaurants in the program. I am not looking to accru points, I am just looking to extend the expiration date.

That is another good way to work the system. It works for me with my AA Master card getting the miles and Delta getting the dining bonus.
