iDine/Rewards Network - Restaurants that advertise they are with RN

I recently went to an Italian place in PHL knowing it was listed with RN.

I noticed when going in that there was a sticker on the door stating that they were participating with RN.

I have never seen this before and was wondering if there are others that have this sticker.

Anyone else seen this at other places before?

Have never seen one of these.

How did the sticker say this? Did it simply name "Rewards Network", did it have a list of RN's dining programs, or what?

There is a sub shop in DFW - Frisco called Dagwood's which is not on RN, but has the stickers. I asked the manager to remove the stickers, or rejoin the program as some of us would garner false hope.

I do not remember exactly what it looked like but it was blue and white, similar to the stickers that tell you which credit cards they accept and about the same size as most of those. 4 to 5 inches square.

Large print Rewards Network and some other small stuff.

I would like to see some of my favorite RN restaurants post a sticker---would provide a nice 'reference point' to give them positive feedback for participating in the program!

I don't understand. If you know which restaurants are RN restaurants already, what sort of "reference point" would it be to also have a sticker?

OTOH, if you don't know which restaurants are RN restaurants, and a restaurant leaves a sticker on after they drop out of RN, doesn't that hurt you rather than help you (if you start relying on the stickers)?

Remember, many (most?) restaurants join RN to get a loan, and their contract with RN expires as soon as the loan is repaid (by RN's earnings from members' dines). There is at most a month or two warning about this, sometimes little to no warning (if an unexpended rash of dines suddenly finishes off the loan repayment, for example), and I doubt the first thing on the owner's mind is to scrape a sticker off the door.

Back in the day when Diners Club card was on its own network (DC is now on the MasterCard network in the US), I'd often find stores which had a Diners Club sticker on the door, go in to pay with my Diners Club, only to be told something like (oh, that was the previous owner, we stopped taking it when we took over the store a few years ago). But at least in that case I'd find out before I bought that the card was not accepted.

In the case of RN, if the sticker is there but the restaurant no longer particpates, you don't get any other indication that it doesn't participate between walking in the door and paying, and so you've just lost all those miles (unless you would have eaten there no matter what).

I'd thus rather not have stickers for a "hidden" feature (where you can't vefify before you pay whether the sticker is still valid) in a world like RN where restaurants drop out just as often as they join.
