Advise for others: Do not do a lot of check ins every day
How many is "a lot?" I do 2-3 per day...

3-5 check-ins M-F. I do not have a clear answer as if it was a lot since I had weeks where I did not do anything.

Anyone able to reinstate their suspended account?

My account was suspended early this week too. I wrote to the customer support if they can't reinstate my account because I never receive a warning email prior. No dice..

If anyone has successful reinstated their account, please share.

This was the message I received.

Hi monkey, As previously mentioned, we've noticed that you seem to be using Topguest in ways that violate our Terms of Service. We are hereby closing your account and will not be forwarding instances of you receiving points to our partners. Regards, Topguest.

As it turns out I did not receive a prior warning email too.

May I ask how often you checked in?

thebluejean Apr 5, 2012 12:46 pm
3 check-ins per day for 5-6 days per week.

None of my check-ins were registering since December. This week I logged off my Facebook account on Topguest and logged back in, and now magically I'm getting points again. For PC, I always get the points twice for every check in, no idea why. I'm counting the extra points for all the past check-ins that didn't go through and not complaining.

Thanks! I guess I will try to check in less frequent than that...

And for how long you have been doing so?

Were you physically at the property?

Did you spread them out during the day, or all at once? I try to leave at least an hour between them all.

2 in the morning while driving to work. 2-3 in the evening while driving back. Last 1 month I switched to browser + at the property.

About 1 month now and I work next to the airport so the properties are all within few hundred feet away from me. But T&C says you have to be "in the lobby" but I don't think they can detect that. I think it's the frequency (multiple check-ins within short period of time) that sets they off. But who knows. I've read someone has been doing the same as me for many years now and their accounts are still active.

What kind of check-ins were these? Were you doing multiple check-ins for one program (i.e. Hilton, Priority Club or United), or one check-in each in multiple programs? TIA.
