I think 7 accounts are much more likely to raise a red flag than two accounts.

With all 7 accounts winning, I think that your pig might have become a hog, thereby explaining the audit. The audit is anything BUT random.

Yep, the title reminded me of the good ole days of Quizgate and the PCR points millionaires who ruined the party

if most of the accts only had pts from promos and not actual stays or a CC I would have thought PC would have shut all of them down. As for the 1 acct it seems the OPs own acct that had other activity I would have thought PC would have simply removed any pts earned from this promo and left the others as is, go figure

But multi accts from the same mailing address and same last name and using the exact same computer does spell Trouble. 2 accts maybe 3 tops but 7

Two accounts are not working for my family.
My wife's account keep getting deleted. (3 times)
We don't even have the same last name.

What cache file? I haven't contacted them because this was the second one they deleted, and I'm annoyed with them. There were only 7500 points, so we will just stick to my husband's account I guess.

Why would you let it go??? I'd raise hell - since when they can simply delete accounts without any justification? Was it open using some targeted promo such as below?

Maybe you opened a Platinum account when there was recently a promotion? I did so too. And my Platinum account was also deleted. My gold account is still there.

Looks like "ARKADIJS B" from the UK is still playing with multiple accounts... and shows on the winner list (top 100) for last week twice. Unless there are really two different legitimate ARKADIJS B from the UK, this one would seem to be an easy one for PC to pick out...
That's one gifted British-Lithuanian (or perhaps British-Latvian) family - I can also see Juris B., Uldis B., Aigars B, Arkadis B., Arkadijs B. in the top 100

I opened it a few weeks ago, did some promos. I am letting it go because I would not use it for hotel stays because my husband's status is way better.

Opened via a promo not targeted to you? It was posted here, on FT, SD etc IIRC.

There is a difference between closing legit accounts and those opened in violation for T&Cs. (BTW reading cache is not a violation of T&Cs of PC or even the game so that wouldn't do it).

Uh, no. I opened it so I could get points for purchasing a car seat through rewards mall. I am well aware of T&C's and have been managing my husband's account for years.
