I got the warning e-mail Friday night but I haven't been checking into any Topguest partners! (I've stopped traveling for work, and I completely forgot I was signed up for Topguest.)

In fact, I appear to only have three check-ins that earned points through Topguest, and they're from 2010 and 2011. That seems like a really low threshold to call someone a cheater.

Correction: Maybe seven check-ins. Found 200 points in my Choice Privileges for September & October 2011. (They weren't listed in my Topguest account because CP isn't a TG program anymore.)

steady as she goes for me....hiccup last weekend result in 100 miles being added tuesday to catch up. so far so good...

No warning emails for me, however checkins r not earning points and I still can get into my TG account. Will back off for a while.

So every single one of my gmail aliases (for both me and the mrs.) got the email from Celeste. Even the ones that don't earn points anymore (BW, Wyndham). Not sure how they ran the report, but it appears it was a mass purge (or pre-purge). No accounts shut down so far. I wonder if I should pull back, or keep it full steam ahead.

No points or email for days. I guess I should just put this habit to rest for a while.

TopGuest suspension
 

I received notice of inappropriate account activity yesterday from Celeste Williams. I responded in protest and have just been suspended from Topguest. I wonder if an appeal will get me anywhere. I have to send my Hilton Honors account # in appeal letter so was wondering how legitimate this all is. Bummer

They are so dumb. Shut me down a month ago, and I got Celeste's email in my two accounts saying to stop "or else."

I took my 40k points from them and now they're cry-babying? The end is near for TG. I'm really interested to see what is in TP 33974.

From my experience and others, appeals rarely make a difference.

Similarly, based on my experience, when you receive an email from TG, do not appeal, do not even try to reply to the email. Simply stop check-in for a few days and you'll be fine. From what I read, writing back will just cause account suspension.

My husband and kiddo both got the "warning" email but actually had their accounts suspended ::confused::

That's funny. It looks like they are sending to emails to everyone regardless of activity and account suspension

Did they stop check-in after they receive the email? Did they reply to the email?

Seems to me, they are running out of cash and are desperately trying to save a sinking sink!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The only cost-effective way to participate is a well-written script. You won't get suspended, nor will you spend more time than it's worth. Their business model doesn't work, so get what you can before they're gone.

I'd advise to full steam ahead. Examples show that there is no pattern, every account will be shut down earlier or later
