I still don't get it. The first flight I found when I went to https://foursquare.com/lufthansa was JK6709.

Foursquare will let you checkin anywhere if you know the right channel to use. That is whats killing Topguest.com right now. We (sbm12, Lufthansaflyer, rcs85551 and me) clearly mentioned that when they gave us a preview.

The first flight that popped up this morning is BD091 BHD-LHR. The developers of the app must be using some outdated list of LH codeshares.

I'm entirely aware of that, and I know they can't influence check-ins, but they can definitely filter them out in Blue Legends itself. Every Foursquare user has to provide a name and surname - how hard is it to then run the check-in through the reservation system for a match?

Could be a data privacy issue?

They can look if your M&M number was on the flight, but such a mass search would tax the system and is probably not allowed.

Perhaps, but does this app make any sense?
(Btw I'll try it in any case next week...)

Ok, back from my weekend trip MUC-FRA-HEL-MUC with 2x FCL MUC and 1x FCT FRA.
All I got was the 'Lounge Newbie' Badge and both stays at the FCL are visible in my Blue Legends account.
Did not get anything for the FCT and was unable to find any of my flights in 4sq.

Will give it a next try on Thursday on MUC-FRA-DTW.

4sq search can be a bit wonky, try to be creative. For instance, I couldn't get a match when searching for "LH 2417", but I managed to get one when searching for only "2417".

Found them all 3 via foursquare.com on my Desktop.
So I'm obviously too dumb to live.
