If you check-in from foursquare, be sure that you are really check into an airport venue -- I have seen many sites with airport symbol, but not really the airport. Of course, I dont know whether those terminal check-ins would be counted in this case or not. Anyway, dont over-do your check-ins to cause suspicious and I did get a warning 4 weeks back which I had no clue on what's the trigger, but I am trying to be more careful about not over-doing it.
I've seen that too, where someone just makes up a place, and calls it whatever they want. I've checked into a "fake" holiday inn and gotten points for it. I think right now they're not too picky in their giving of points. I hope that continues. I'm trying to be as careful as possible, I check in to one place at a time, wait a few hours and then check in again. I like to leave random comments, like "picking up Susan here."
What was your activity pattern that generated the "warning" and what was in the warning?
