Do I lose my Hilton/United points, or worse, are those accounts of mine shut down too? What happens to already accrued TopGuest points?

Nope the points which have already been transferred into respective programs are yours to keep. Its just that you wont be able to checkin and gain any new points if you are shut off.

FIVE check-ins 7 days a week? TopGuest knows that no one stays at 3 hotels a day. That is a bit too greedy and I predict your TopGuest account will be closed without warning.

Not to be harsh on you but I used to be like you until reality kicked in ;).

If your account is closed, you will not be able to get miles on the same Frequent flier numbers from topguest since those are blacklisted.

There are people that are at the airport everyday, like employees. Why shouldn't you be able to check-in every day of the week? Same goes for hotels.

Or those, like me who drive around and pick people up and take them to the airport. Set route, every day. Just be smart, and check in with a reasonable amount of time between each.

Like anything you can check in 2 places a day and be shut down because you check in within 5 minutes of each, or you can check into 5 places a day spread out over 24 hours and fly low.

A grind?
Tired?
Burning out?

You can. But who visits THREE hotels SEVEN days a week? If it's ONE hotel seven days a week that's different.

400 total checkins take their toll.

I've been tempted to use www.auto4sq.com

Let us know if it works!

250 UA miles ea day is tiring, I dont want to even think about hotel points.

Stubtify May 24, 2012 3:55 pm

The idea is smart, you schedule the checkins and what days to check in.

I went in and set up a schedule, check into property A, B, C and an airport. I didn't want to check into property A at exactly 8:05 each M-Su, so I started making different checkins for each day of the week, Monday 8:05, Tuesday 7:33, Wed.... but then hit the limit of 10 scheduled check-ins. I would need 28 check ins 4x7days to execute with proper randomness for my comfort level.

Im gonna have to figure out how you guys are getting more than 50 UA miles per day.

livestrongforever May 25, 2012 8:56 am

are you guys creating multiple Gmails to make the trick work or is that not really necessary?

I signed up for this a long time ago, but just figured out how to sync it all to do it from my phone. And to think I used to live right next to a Crowne Plaza but I didn't realize what Priority Club points were. I still live pretty close to the Crowne Plaza and Double Tree. I will do one in the morning, one in the evening. And throw in a check-in at Newark Airport every few days when I'm on the turnpike.

There is no need to be in physical proximity to a check-in location unless you allow your client to determine you aren't nearby.
