Not me. But occassionally strange things happen. In early June I got daily check ins for UA, even though I didn't check in. It lasted until UA dropped out of the program. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Ride on!

I don't understand what is going on with TopGuest. E-mails arrive that inform me that I made a check-in, but points didn't show up. For example, me and my friend (who just signed up with TopGuest) did check-in in Holiday Inn, I am getting the points, he doesn't (but e-mails always arrive). His points (about 300) didn't post at all (even 50 points for registering) on his PC account, they are only visible on his TG account. I suggested him to erase his PC number and put it again, but this didn't help.

The same story with VA (getting e-mails but no points), and I had several occasional check-ins in Viola hotels in NY - no points at all. I hope TG does not falling apart.

You could always email them. I did this on the recommendation of someone here and it worked just fine. I also had a ver friendly exchange with the csr.

Were you checking in near an airport? UA was counting any check-ins within a certain radius - maybe 2 miles? - regardless of what the place actually was.

Nope. I was actually in London at the time. They just kept showing up. I was checking into my London venues. We were staying at a Crowne Plaza and those showed up just fine. I also checked into where ever we were that day.

Gotta ask. Is anyone else gotten into checking in at places and getting badges? Maybe I'm just a little geeky, but while in Europe I was having fun checking into museums, world heritage sites, restaurants etc and getting new badges. My husband ( a coffee-a-holic) is currently on level 9 of the Juan Valdez badge. Do I need to seek counseling?

as long as you are not mayor of stall #3 in the men's room in the East Terminal at DEN you are fine.

Kind of surprised Topguest is even still around. No way the customers are getting what they intend to get out of it.

I'm just counting down the days until this program kicks the bucket. Or until they kick me out.

Until then, mobile web check ins in a different city has been my way to the promised land. stay the course, the points will come.

Anyone having log-in issues today? Trying to log into my account and it just goes back to the homepage without logging me in.

Wondering if my account got taken down.

Same thing happened to me today. I actually stayed at a CP the other day and now I can't log in? Other people in family still can log in. Strange.

Just sent them an email, as I know all my check ins were legit!
