Comments.Text: @petednz - there are different reasons for the contacts not to receive the reminder and the contacts belong to different membership categories. If I am following your line of thinking (that I think you are thinking), I might be able to create a new membership category at add all contacts NOT to receive reminders to that category as well as their primary membership (which is important on our site for other reasons). I have to test that; off the top of my head, I'm not sure whether it will work or not

  You can use the "Limit to Recipients" along with a smart group to handle this.
  
  * Create a smart group of all members called "Receives Reminders".
  * Manually remove those folks who you don't want to receive reminders from the smart group.
  * Use the "Limit to Recipients" to only send to members of your smart group
