MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003

According to a survey conducted by iDine Rewards Network (AMEX:IRN), 97 percent of survey participants say they are willing to try a new restaurant. Seventy-three percent go so far as to say they "LOVE trying new restaurants". Survey participants are members of the frequent flyer dining programs of the top airlines.

"This is great news to the restaurant industry and to iDine," said George S. Weidemann, president and CEO of iDine, the nation's leading dining rewards program whose more than 13 million members are among the most frequent diners in the country.

"We always knew dining out has become an ingrained part of the American culture, but to have our members say they 'love' trying new restaurants is certainly music to our ears," said Weidemann. "The three percent who don't revel in trying new restaurants tell us they are big fans of dining out, it's just that they prefer going to restaurants they are already familiar with."
