Just got a warning email about suspicious activity. Guess I'm going to stop completely too :(

From TechCrunch:


Right now it sounds like you can only earn rewards at The Standard hotels but their FAQ makes it sound like SPG points and Delta SkyMiles might be next up.

fantastic!:)

Choice Privileges
 
Is there a problem with Choice Privileges points transfer? My check-ins with HHonors and Best Western arrive after about two days on the hotel programs. Not so with Choice Privileges. Have been waiting for two weeks but no points in the Choice account. Any insights?

Yes, I received this from Topguest a few days ago.....odd since I haven't used the service in a while.

Hi there, just a quick email to let you know that you will receive an extra deposit of Choice Privileges points in the next few weeks from Topguest. There was a reporting error by Choice but we have resolved the problem for you and back-credited the points. Enjoy!

Happy travels,

Celeste.
Topguest Support.

Weired... but may explain the delay.

Did you enter your full Choice membership number (i.e. including the prefix) or only the numbers/letters into your TopGuest account?

There has been no issue with accruing points with Choice in the past, so this seems an issue on their side, not one with membership #'s.

Hilton points posting schedule?
 
This is a question about HHonors points. I've been checking in for about 3 weeks now and have accumulated 1,000 HHonors points but have yet to see any points post on my Hilton account... Is anyone else experiencing something similar?

Hilton has traditionally posted really quickly for me, almost same day as the activity. I assume you've been checking into a Doubletree?

Yes, I've been checking into a DoubleTree. The Hilton points post the next day on TopGuest's website, I've yet to receive any HHonors points on my actual Hilton account..

Checking in features on Facebook and Foursquare have to be done on your mobile. The laptop won’t cut it for this unfortunately.

What a Joke
 
Tried to log into my topguest account and get the message

"Your account has been suspended"

LOL, no Warnings or anything.

I've been doing a few check-ins a day and wondering if that is too much - can you give any other info about what you were doing prior to the account suspension so it can be avoided!

From this list and others I have read this seems to be the way the operate. Not very adult or professional. Makes one wonder how long they will be around. Seems hard to play by the rules when they refuse to tell you what the rules are. I read recently that someone just opened another account - both at the hotel chain and topguest using a address of a relative:td::(. He/she plans to then merge the two accounts after the new one is suspended again. Seems like a lot of effort for so little value.
