I just signed up a few weeks ago, and, will admit I was breaking their TOS by checking into stuff I was no where near..and points were posting like the next day...and got a nice little email from them telling me to stop checking into places I was not at or near..which I did..immediately..this past week I was at an actual hotel and checked into it - along with two others close by ..no points...oh well..

I suggest not to contact topguest
I have been using Topguest for a while now. Since January I haven't been getting my points posted at PriorityClub (I was previously getting them posted everyday at PC).
Just wondering if it's worthwhile to contact TopGuest or if I should wait it out and see what happens?

Once it stops posting points for you, it is pretty much dead.

Here is my experience. I contacted TG to assist me in changing my facebook acct set up, as I changed it. Once I did everything, from that moment going forward, no points received. I linked the account to my Foursquare application, and the same, no more points. Once you contact them, they can see your activity. I've never received any emails notifying me that I've been violating their TOS, just flat out no more points.

Just get your points and be happy!

It's been a couple of days since last posting to my account, so I'll keep monitoring and report back. However, I have continued to get email confirmations after the merger. What I haven't been getting in the last couple of days are the hotel confirmations. I have tried both with FB and Foursq and no luck yet.

You will not. During the transition, they did shut posting off for a few days. My last posting was on 3/4, but I have a UA check-in from a few days ago that hasn't posted yet.

Looks like I stopped getting PC points too. Tried at a HI and a CP a week apart, no luck. I hadn't done any check-ins since December and had no issues before. Guess I'll try Foursquare next and see if that works better.

I use FS to check in at the InterContinental accross the street from my job every day. Did it this morning and just received the email confirmation just fine. I will try a HI tomorrow if I'm near one to see if it works.
