I got warned early in the year for violating the T&Cs but wasn't suspended. I quit doing Holiday Inn checkins; was doing those plus Doubletree daily. Focused on Doubletree plus Virgin America (and UA while it lasted). All manual checkins; Doubletree is close to my house while I work on IAD property. Emails and points quit coming on 9/7. No email telling me that I was suspended/shut down. Can't log in to them. Whatever. 14K HHonors points, plus almost 4K (worthless) VX points.

Potentially Stupid Question:
I use TopGuest to get priority club rewards through Foursquare on every separate check-in. A local Crown Plaza has a FS special that entitles me to 1000 PC points on every 3rd check in. Anyone know if and how to get them? I cannot figure out how to link FS and my PC directly. Or does TopGuest simply take care of this? Again, forgive the idiocy if this question if it is stupid.

Ah interesting. It's very confusing because once I have checked in via FS 3 times, the app tells me I have unlocked the 1000 point bonus. Very odd.

That's because FS assumes that each time you 'checkin' at their location you are also an overnight guest. This is indeed confusing because other hotels run FS promotions which do not require you to be a guest, for example bar specials.

Sorry about the noobie question, just curious what is FS promotion you are referring to? I mean what is FS?

I can't remember when I first did this 1x but just now received an email saying I had 500 pts deposited but when in checking my activity on my HH page it says only 50 have been added but it actually was 500!

I got the same email. On my HH the extra 500 is added into the final points total but not broken down in the points history.
