Update, I got it installed on iPhone to use with FourSquare. I enabled Facebook but still couldn't see Choice listed as a partner. The only partner in Brisbane area is the Holiday Inn so I might as well stick with FourSquare. It's a bit strange, I can't tell if it's saved my PC number because when I look at the partners, it prompts me to add the number again. I did one check in and it registered 50 PC points, now I hope they go to PC!

I must be doing something wrong...
Can someone help me out here, since obviously I'm doing something wrong. I've been checking into my local Holiday Inn for about a week now using foursquare, and my account should be linked to topguest, but I haven't seen any points post to my topguest rewards summary page. I realize that it takes a while for the points to hit my actual Priority Club account, though I haven't even seen them on the rewards summary page, so I assume I'm doing something wrong. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Thanks!

You're not breaking the TOS by figuring out ways to get your check-in to work when your app is saying you are too far away. The location services are imperfect in that weak signals, inaccurate mapping, and other issues can cause them to misplace you. The other day I was sitting in a restaurant, and probably because of the lack of line of sight to the sky, Foursquare said I was too far from the restaurant when I tried to check in, despite the fact I was actually in it. Turning off GPS or using other workarounds can help you check in when you are experiencing such problems.

Lucky, there is a small possibility that HI isn't in the Top Guest database as a Priority Club property. Same thing happened to me when I checked in once at a hotel that was across the street from where I was staying. The check-ins did not post 2 days in a row and I cannot fathom anything I did differently/wrong technically. Have you tried another hotel?
Thanks!

Lucky,
Using your PC, go to Topguest.com, log in, and then click on "Settings." Make sure the FourSquare toggle switch is "on". If it isn't, switch it on and it will step you through the process of connecting your Topguest and Foursquare accounts.

TopGuest Settings
Anyone else having trouble getting to the Settings page in TopGuest? I have been trying for the past week and just get a blank page. I emails them but have received no answer.

I had a similar problem, but logging in using Facebook instead of using my user/pass solved it. Give that a try. Might also want to try a different browser. Chrome works great for me.

Same for me here. They were posting every other week until Oct 12. Haven't gotten anything since then, although the points are still accumulating in my topguest account.

We have resolved the issue causing delay in crediting Priority Club points. Look forward to seeing your points from EOD Friday!
