The program tries to get new members to sign up by July 31, 2021, by offering up to 6,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points for three dines (each minimum of $30 including taxes/fees/tips) within 60 days of signing up.

- Dine 2: 2,000 bonus points (minimum spend $30)
- Dine 3: 3,000 bonus points (minimum spend $30)
Total cumulative bonus 6,000 points + what you earn from the dines
- Base members: Four Marriott Bonvoy points per USD
- Elite members: Six Marriott Bonvoy points per USD
Note that you must complete a survey within 30 days after each dining transaction to earn the bonus points and opt-in to receive emails from the Rewards Network (daily spam?).
Rewards Network (iDine) works with several companies:
Conclusion
I used to be part of iDine years ago and earned some random bonuses from restaurants and bars that I had no idea were part of the network.
Rewards Network captures the transaction from the credit card data and links with your Marriott Bonvoy account. Remember to leave those reviews, or you won’t earn the bonus points.
