That alone could push the numbers up a few hundred within a couple weeks. Most people are inherently lazy. Sending a self addressed stamped interest card to previous contacts that have expired cards might spur some renewed interest.
I asked a DPA guy in the lounge months ago what that number represented. He told me it represented members who had joined. I asked if it accounted for expired cards and he said they had no mechanism to track that however he thought most renewed their cards so it should be close. Funny how you get different answers to the same question.
