SPG and Delta are not participating in Topguest's program and I am not aware of a way to credit Virgin America check-ins to AA.

Cool thanks. I guess this is pretty much for the Hilton people then.

My daily Doubletree checkin used to post to my HHonors account every day, 50 points at a time.. still been checking in every day, none have posted for about a week and a half. Anyone else experiencing this?

My previously disabled account is active again. They just posted 1700 HH points for my check-ins while it was disabled.

TopGuest just added Best Western as a partner and they are offering 500 BW points for the creation of a new account. (I detailed it in this thread).

Or just about any airline program if the right hotel is convenient to you and you are willing to invest 10 seconds a day for three months to get 1,000 miles. For example, 5,000 Choice points = 1,000 miles. 8,000 Wyndham points = 3,200 miles.

btw, Best Western gives a 50 point bonus for adding the program to your TopGuest account, in addition to the 500 point bonus for opening a new Best Wstern account.
