Our Verdict
The normal offer is for 500 sign up miles and 5 x 500 mile bonuses for a total of 3,000 miles. This is an extra 500 just for signing up. If you haven’t signed up I’d grab this bonus now. You can also just purchase gift cards at a restaurant (in-restaurant) and then just comment on the decor for your review.
Hat tip to MahanaYouUgly on /r/churning
on reddit, op suggests folks may wait til early apr. to sign up to have more time dining or GCs using discover it cc for the 5% bonus too
The website has that to receive this bonus you have to continue to satisfy other Online/VIP level criteria. One of the criteria is “You have 12 or more qualified transactions* in the calendar year.”
A qualified transaction is eating at a restaurant. When is this bonus posted? Will they take back your bonus if you do not ave 12 or more qualified transactions* in the calendar year?

Signed up. Took me 3 minutes.
