That's not a good value but for homeless, jobless or students still something. At least

Anyone know if suspension permanent? has anyone ever been unsuspended? I mean the account is suspended, not closed or cancelled, so is it forever, or after a while is it lifted?

No one has ever reported being unsuspended. I check occasionally just in case, but it has been months now.

Another data point, my account was suspended in late September, no warning email or suspension email. My partners account is still going strong, same check-in frequency as me except that she doesn't chase Virgin America points. My suspicion is that tightened up significantly after their Elevate status promotion topguest ran in August. Perhaps if you are still going pull back on the Elevate checkins and keep up the IHG ones.

Got the axe also today. 1st email was warning, then 3 min later got the suspension letter. I'm too lazy to fight with them.

I have been checking into airport, doubletree around the same area, and the intercontinental couple blocks across work everyday for the past 3 months.

I actually check in when I around the hotel andairport, not sure what the problem. Maybe checking in everyday is not allowed?

They have definately figured out how to parse out the non-app check-ins, though check-ins using the app are still working for me the few times I've done them. The river has indeed run dry.

Have not had any HHonors points post to my HHonors account in over 2 weeks. Go to the Topguest site and all check-ins are listed as well as the points. Have also received email confirmations for each check-in so obviously I have not been suspended.

Is anyone else having problems with HHonors points posting?

How about using a location spoofer app and then check-in from the app? I cannot test this myself because I am suspended (without any warnings).

Some times HHonors points credit in a bunch after two weeks or so, this happened to me frequently before I was suspended. If you have the email confirmations they post eventually.

My account was suspended about a year ago and was reinstated a few months later after a few emails. But it got suspended again in September.
