I got the same misuse email. TopGuest/FourSquare often think you are miles away even when you are sitting in the location. My building is in the location of a DoubleTree so only think it is fair that I can check in there daily, yet TopGuest thinks that is misuse apparently. I cannot help it if my iPhone thinks I am miles away from the place I am actually standing. The GPS is often way off. I do plan on continuing to use TopGuest because I like the benefits, but I dont appreciate being accused of misusing something when it is not true.

Thanks for your presence here TopGuest Lurker, but realize that programs like these often have caveats that are not necessarily misuse, but simply issues that can arise like the GPS being inaccurate. I hope you will not penalize loyal users for these issues. Fingers crossed they dont ban me too!
