I just reached VIP in my last program. Now I will only dine at RN places if I am with a large group or If I am in the mood for pizza. There's a great pizzeria near my home. I will no longer drive far for miles due to the high gas prices.

YMMV. But for some of us (who were registered with lots of programs but didn't use most of them much recently), some of the programs gave us a bonus that lasts through December 31, 2012, giving essentially 8 miles/$ (if a miles-based program) for the longest bonus duration time in RN history, IIRC.

So as June transitioned to July, I went straight from the 7 UA miles/$ bonus to the 8 DL miles/$ bonus. (I could have done it earlier, as the UA and DL bonuses for me overlapped, but I need UA more than DL so was interested in using the UA bonus as long as it lasted.)

Haven't even been to the website to search for restaurants in months. 5/$ just not worth it to me, even with a large expense account on the road 120+nights a year. I just gave up on it as no longer worth the trouble. At 10/$ I felt it was, but, until/if it goes back, I don't see me using it anymore.

Less. Their coverage in the Durham area is pretty weak. Also, when I was really into them (2003-2009), they were great because it wasn't easy to find restaurants in new cities I would be in. IDine gave me a description, a map, reviews AND I was getting miles so it was a great deal. Now it's a lot easier to find a restaurant on Google/Yelp/Chowhound etc. and I don't have to rely on them anymore.

No bonuses in months; reduced mileage to 5; stagnant SF restaurant selection---- much less for me.

Are you using RN more or less? Why?
 
Less for me as well. Some decent local options have dropped out of the program and the same has happened in places I travel to frequently. Add to that the lack of bonuses and I'm not getting as many UA points as in years past.
