SPG is partnering with Foursquare directly, not Topguest.

Mstr. Balima and I got shut down during the first round. No letters, no warning. Mr. Balima was still going strong up until last week. He is now dead in the water as well. No warnings ever received. Oh well it was fun while it lasted. Across all three of us we got over 12K points and miles.

This is a bit different as it will require an actual stay in the hotel, not just grabbing a coffee in the lobby :/

"To tell you the SPG Better by the Night promotion just got better. Now you can earn 250 bonus Starpoints when you check in on foursquare during eligible stays at all 1,100 hotels and resorts through December 20, 2012. Be sure your SPG and foursquare accounts are linked at spg.com/socialcheckins and that you are registered for the promotion at spg.com/betterbythenight to earn your bonus Starpoints. It's that easy."

I use four square when travelling, as it is easier I often check in on my lap top using foursquare mobile. A little while ago the points stoped posting to IHG. Today I checked in from my andriod device, and he points have appeared.

So, it looks like they are stoppingpoints for check ins unless it is from a mobile device.

Nobody ever mentions mlife. I was doing checkins via the web and seeing points post for both HH, PC and mlife. The mlife was for my wife, location Vegas. Then the mlife stopped posting, and then they clawed the points back, returning the balance to zero as if the mlife checkins had never happened. My checkins via iPhone continue to work. Not sure about the web as I have stopped doing that.

MLife made some 'improvements' to its program effective Oct. 1, and in the process reset all points balances to zero.

Yes, this really sucked for some of us. I Emailed in a protest, but haven't heard anything yet.

I have been suspended, but the joke is on topguest because I earned 50k points on HH and PC, plus 20k on Wyndham.

Unless everyone else is having issues with PC points posting the last few days, it looks my ride has come to an end. Points show on topguest but they are now not posting in my account with pc. No email to let me know I have been suspended yet.

Sorry to report that my PC points are still posting, so chances are you've been suspended.

Mine are still posting as well, but I am being careful after the Celeste email.
