I know that I've had a few random dines post from places that I didn't even know were part of RN. We've lost our last remaining participants in Ithaca and the entire Southern Tier now appears to be RN-free. (Taste of Thai Express, you will be missed...) On the other hand, there's been a few new ones in the neighborhoods we frequent in Seattle, such as Taki's Mad Greek (which we recommend!). If Rekoil is in need of quick dines near Fremont, might I suggest the Jewel of India lunch buffet? That place is so amazing and cheap that I can't figure out for the life of me why they feel the need to offer a rebate via RN...
Qazis is in Fremont; Jewel of India is in the University District. I find Seattle's membership about the same as it's been historically, perhaps slightly less.
