I chose "LESS - Because of fewer restaurants where I am" and ultimately "LESS - Because of fewer promos" with extra emphasis on the latter.

Compared to 2009 and 2010, and quite frankly, 2011, the amount of promos has gone way down in quality and size. The two extra miles per dollar thing was okay-but by no means an incentive.

Also, I have found that there aren't that many choices in the San Francisco Bay Area anymore. Some restaurants have chosen to no longer participate, and the ones that I do go to, I go when I am in the area because I like the food, but not necessarily just to earn points.

Most of my iDines are when I'm travelling in RN-heavy places like Waikiki Beach.

Bottom line, the program isn't what it used to be by far.
