I don't know if this is a fairly recent addition, but Hampton works in addition to Doubletree. http://www.topguest.com/programs/hilton
Updated to add: I guess Hampton isn't a recent addition, found this thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hilto...guest-com.html

There aren't many Hampton properties over here but if I come across one again I'll try checking in.

FYI, Topguest must not like giving points
I am an avid user of 4sq. It allows me to keep my family apprised of my travels and locations in the event of an emergency.
I received a message from TG last week stating they felt I was in violation of the TG policies, but could not tell me which one. I travel extensively and also sell to hotels. Whenever I am in a property, I check in, period. Yes, I have gotten thousands of points for HI express and Dbl tree.
Apparently TG does not like that and booted my account

I got the same "you're in violation" e-mail earlier this week. I've since stopped checking into the DT that's across the street from work. I'll keep checking in sporadically, but really, the only reason I signed up for the program was to get the hotel points. Heck, I have friends who check into the same stupid intersection on their way to or from work - I wonder if they're getting the same "you're checking in here too often" e-mail. I'm guessing not.

[QUOTE=Minneapolis;15225979]Team,
Sure, 50 HH points is worth less than a penny on the ground, but I could see how these would add up. Note: earning is capped at 50pts/day.
Actually 50 HHonors points is worth 25 cents at the common valuation of 0.5 cents per point. So let's say you "check in" 200 days per year, that's $50. Arguably worthwhile, though I wouldn't go out of my way.

I got the same message about violating the TOS.
I logged in to review my account and it seems I wasn't receiving points for all my checkins.
To solve this problem, I just check into a different Doubletree and the points have been posting correctly for a week or so now.
Its a pain of they suspend your account though. You have to get a new 4sqr AND Hilton account. Thankfully, Hilton allows you to merge accounts free of charge.
