I searched for Topguest and didn't see any mention of it on FT. I'm not sure if this belongs here, or Travel Technology, or maybe S.P.A.M. but according to their FAQ you earn points in the program of your choice, not pseudo-points.
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.

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?

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.

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?

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..

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
. 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.
