True, but note the anti-fraud measures Topguest alluded to in the email they sent a couple weeks ago (I reprinted it in post #15, above in this thread). That doesn't mean you can't still check in remotely every day and get the 50 points, but it sure makes it much less likely that the loophole will continue for long because they might start cross-referencing actual hotel check-ins with the geo-network check-ins.
