I didn't realize that there were any establishments offering less than 3 miles per $ as long as you meet the requirement for whatever that level of membership is (I think all it requires is having a valid email address on file with Rewards Network)

Thought it was 1 mile/$ for basic member
3 miles/$ if you have your email address on file
5 miles/$ for "VIP"

I don't really pay attention to the restaurant list but every once in a while get a nice surprise when I eat somewhere and the mileage posting shows up unexpectedly a few days later. Back when I paid closer attention, restaurants were constantly cycling in and out of the program.

Maybe they've really devalued the program if some restaurants now offer less than 3 miles per dollar.
