I haven't gotten any points for Doubletree checkins since March. Has anyone else had this problem?

haven't been flagged yet. Been doing this for the last couple of months. i try and spread my checkins about an hr apart
most are done on the browser. Been getting majority of the points thus far.

Hey, if you're not following the rules, don't post here. We don't want topguest to shut down this program.

Mystery check ins
 
Interesting development here. I had up until now not checked into United. I decided to do a trial run on Tuesday and see how quickly the points would show up. Today I check my United account and see 200 miles in my account from TopGuest. 50 on Tuesday, but then 50 on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I didn't check into United on those days. Wonder what gives. I am very careful with my check ins and do not want to alert the Cardinals. This worries me a bit. Has anyone else had this occur?

No I have not ,but maybe you are in proximity to a hotel or a place that double dips into a UA topguest location. I have read reports that some users check into a hotel that gives them UA miles too since the distance might be in proximity.

I'm going to keep an eye out on this and see if it keeps happening.

My past 1 month of doubletree points have not posted despite it showing up in the topguest log.

Something is happening or is doubletree out of the game?

Go into Topguest, click Programs. On the HHonors one, click Edit, and then click Save. Somehow it loses the sync to the program sometimes.

And sometimes that is not successful either.

United uses a radius around the airport, something like 2 miles. Anything you check into within that radius will invoke the bonus. Doesn't need to be the airport itself.

Yeap, it has not been successful too.

The backlog of 1700 points have not been transferred to my HH account.

I have not received a single posting on Hilton other than my signup bonus. No problems with other programs. Will try to re-sync the program again. Frustrating, because I want more Hilton points....

Already tried this a couple of months back before this post, and also tried after this post, or about 3 weeks ago. It didn't work either time. It appears that Hilton Honors is dead for good. I stopped doing check ins there since it is useless and there's no point on triggering a warning email for no reason.

I just had a check-in at Doubletree yesterday post to my account, so I don't believe its dead....

Are you checking into Double tree? I believe those are the only ones that count now for points.
