2,013-point new member bonus for Priority Club Dining

Now that you (might) need more Priority Club points for those free hotel stays this year, this is a perfect opportunity to sign up for the dining program while there is an increased new member bonus of 2,013 points instead of the usual 1,000 points. In addition to the new member bonus, as an online member you get 5 Priority Club points per dollar spent at participating restaurants. Then once you have 12 qualified transaction in the calendar year, you are considered an elite member and will receive 8 points per dollar. This is on top of whatever points/miles you're getting from the issuer of your credit card (Chase, Citi, AMEX, etc).

Here's some of the fine print:

This bonus offer is open to new Priority Club^® Dining members or existing members without a dining profile at the time of registration. A dining profile includes creating a web login and opting in and remaining opted in to receive emails from Priority Club^® Dining with a valid, deliverable email address. To qualify, your profile must originate through one of the links on this page and be completed by February 28, 2013. You must continue to satisfy other Online and/or Elite Member level criteria to earn this bonus. To earn this bonus, you must spend a total of $40 or more (including tax and tip) in one dine at a participating restaurant, bar or club within 30 days from the day of your registration. You must also submit a dining review within 30 days of dining.

So basically you:

• Sign up for the program (this requires registering the credit card(s) you plan to use while dining out)
• Spend $40 or more at a participating restaurant, bar or club within 30 days of registering (can't spend $40 on a single meal? buy a gift card!)
• Then submit a review of your dine within 30 days (they'll email you a link to complete the review)
• Get points!

Most of the major airlines and hotel programs have their own dining programs with sign up bonuses, so watch out for limited time new member bonuses like this that are larger than usual. I'm already enrolled with the dining program for Priority Club (and American Airlines), so I can't take advantage of this offer. I'm waiting for an increased new member bonus to show up for United or Southwest!
