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

I only did one points accumulating check in per day. And I only checked in 4-5 days a week.

I only checked in twice!

It used to be that when TG shuts you down, you will see a message when you log in that says your account has been suspended. Then you will receive an email from TG saying you violated their terms and your account is closed. Recently, that process seems to changed. When you are shut down, you can no longer log in to TG but the TG website doesn't give you any message. They no longer send you an email. Furthermore, if you keep checking in after they close your account, you still receive messages saying you have earned the check in points but the points do not post.

It appears I have also been booted from Top Guest. Checked-in using 4SQ, usually at the same hotel, but I also had big gaps between check-ins. Tried to log into my account the other day to see why points hadn't posted this week and when it didn't work I came here. It would be nice if their IT department could at least have some kind of message pop up saying your account has been closed, rather than just having you enter your password, hit enter, then have it flash back to the log-in screen. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Mine are all from the same TG account, all manual, no issues yet.

Got a Holiday Inn check Inn this morning. Just need 2 more to hit that 5K in Priority Club to be able to utilize their awards. Most of my checkins have been at the same Crowne Plaza and Double Tree near my apartment in NYC, but I check in at other ones around the tri-state if I know I'm going to be driving by one. Maybe variety is the key? (I was stopped at a traffic light last week in Wilmington and saw a Double Tree, so I pulled over and checked in :D)

+1, exact same thing for both wife and I. Started at the same time for both of us.

I last received VA pts on 8/24. I have gotten emails for two subsequent check-ins, but those pts have posted to my account yet. Hmmm...

Upon further inspection, points haven't actually posted to the ms. or my account since 8/28. However the emails are still coming and when I log into our TG accounts it shows that we are still receiving points. They just haven't transferred to our actual VA accounts though. Not sure what's going on.

Same here, I'm still receiving the email "you have earned 25 points" but nothing has posted to my VA account since 8/28 :confused::confused:

I think at least some of the other programs (like United) ended the same way -- points were no longer posting, but emails were still going out for a while. My guess is that they turn off points posting first, and get around to stopping the emails and taking the program off their site afterwards, and that this is just another partner gone.
