Lufthansa Launches "Blue Legends" app for "foursquare" users
Lufthansa went live with a new social media based app that rewards Lufthansa flyers with coupons, badges, and promotional opportunities when they use foursquare to check in with the Lufthansa based opportunities. I posted more details and the relevant links on my website tonight.
I had the opportunity to see a preview of this a few weeks ago while in Frankfurt, and I think its a great way to get passengers to increase their interactions.\ with the airline. A lot of great things are in store for this new product.

Its not only foursquare, you can link your facebook too, or either. When LH showed it to us sbm12 & rcs85551 went 'meh'. I use 4sq (don't ask me why) but stopped showing the world what I'm doing when (except topguest), so time will tell.

What I find irritation is that the link takes you to fb directly...

I'm very glad to see LH taking such a comprehensive approach with 4sq, unlike some other half-arsed attempts. They do seem pretty unclear on the benefits, though, although I presume most badges will translate to miles.

So, I'm one of the 3 people on the Internet who still don't have a facebook profile. However, I do use 4sq, as it's a great way to give a glimpse of my life to the people I care about as I buzz around 
Is there a way to connect it *only* to 4sq, without having to connect with FB first?

Topguest.com gives you points with various loyalty programs (I use Hilton, B Western, P. Club and United MP, there are more) if they detect that you checked in at certain locations.

I found out this morning that it is also an app capable of running on a desktop/laptop, so no mobile device is required.
