I have only ever used foursquare to check-in. Legit foursquare, not autosquare or anything like that. Seems like it's a random sweep of closing accounts or scaring people before ultimately closing accounts.

I have tried using 4square for a few family accounts but no checkins are posting to Topguest... Been like that for a month.

Topguest - additional points for checkins
 
With regular 4square or auto 4sq?

I haven't been getting points since early/mid November (although I only have about 10 check-ins since then) -- no warning or notice. I can still log-in to my TG account though -- does that mean I'm not banned and there's something else going on, or are they now stealth-banning people?

I looked around the TG site and didn't see a list of geos. Does this work when checking in at IHG props in Asia?

The reaper came for me today in the form of an account suspended notification from Celeste. Oh well, it was good while it lasted: several thousand PC and HH points and a handful of UA and VA miles. Best of luck and safe travels to the rest of you.

This reminds me of the song by Blue Oyster Cult "Don't fear the reaper":D

For those being suspended or booted have any of you used an Android app like this?:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...e.fakelocation
That one is free and there is a pro version for a couple of bucks.

I can't as I have a Windows phone. iOS has something similar.

i seemed to have stopped getting points for checkins a bit before Thanksgiving, around the same time everyone here began reporting. no letter though.

after New Years, i checked in again on my way to work and got credited the points. so far 3 for 3 on daily checkins. so maybe it's back.

i am still getting points for priority club. just fine every day.

I'm still going strong with Priority Club and Hilton. It certainly helps having a Holiday Inn across the street from my office and a Doubletree just a couple of blocks further

Will properties in Asia count?

Just a matter of time....

Just tried to log in and a notice of my account being suspended. No email though, the free ride is over. Fun while it lasted.
