also all tg checkins were at least 2 hours apart
We had three accounts. We checked in via computer on foursquare. We made mulitiple check ins daily to non TopGuest sites. Only 1 to either Holiday Inn or Doubletree. Never both. We checked in only on weekdays at different times (and not even every day). Hubby still alive and well. Balima JR and I are dead in the water.

Still going strong for me. One check in per day to Doubletree and Holiday Inn, everyday of the week. Hours apart from each other. However I am checking in at other non Topguest places in between. Riding this until its over.

Trying to Return

Maybe I'm too late coming to the party. Tried signing up for TG. TG said my email was in use. Waiting for hours for a password reset link to be emailed to me.

It almost seems like they just randomly closed down some accounts. At least based on what people have reported in this thread, there doesn't seem to be anything obvious that made you safe or not.

I think I am shut down with all accounts. I am no longer able to log in to the Topguest site.

I am shutdown also. It actually happened while I was away without internet access for 17 days, so I'm not sure what their criteria is.

How do you know if you are shut down or not? I can't seem to log in and the password reset email takes me to a screen that errors out.

Can we just create a new account if it is indeed shut down?

Like clockwork I have been getting my HH points daily. I have had a couple of times where they wouldnt post for a few days and then they would all post at once. Not sure what my balance is from TG overall, but they have provided a nice chunk. Hope it continues, but no worries if it doesn't.

I, too, am getting my points like clockwork. One Hilton and one Holiday Inn every day. Both groups of points post daily. I've only been doing this a little over a week, so they may catch up to me.

Only if it's tied to a fresh hotel program account. You can't create a new Topguest account and link it to a hotel account that you used with a different Topguest account.

You can if you first ask Topguest to delete your account. Presumably they wouldn't do that if you'd already been shut down though.

Just checked this thread for first time in a while, then checked TG account. Sure enough, shut down. Got 9k PC and 4.3k HH before getting the heave-ho. Oh well, easy come easy go!

Hilton, Priority and VA points posting still, and I prefer to drive auto, not manual.

Are people doing all their checkins from the same TG acct? My guess is that's why you're getting shutdown.
