I have booked stays for a Friday and then the Sunday night at one location. Only one foursquare check in bonus posted I thought one foursquare per day.

I'm at the element in IAH... (my first time, this is a great property btw)

There were no specials to unlock when I checked in...will I get the 250 bonus points or be eligible for the free night?

According to the OP in the original announcement:
for the month of May we are hiding Free Resort Night Awards daily throughout our hotels and resorts

Say I stay two nights, Friday and Saturday night. Can I check in Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?

Or is it just very wishful thinking?

It's per stay but please be aware that you can only check-in your future stays. You can't check-in your past stays @:-)

You can't even check in future stays, can you? You need to check in during the stay itself. No?

You can check in on any day during your stay to get the bonus.

I guess I will walk around midtown when I get back and check-in at all the SPG properties. :-P

Anyway, I have yet to unlock a free resort night as a result of a 4SQ check-in. It was a fun promo though.

I take it you didn't read the T&C? This part of the promo ended on 31 May.

So have I. But how is that relevant to this thread? We're talking about the free nights they had scattered through May, not the 250 points that's good through the end of July.

did you try to check-in on your phone????

if you check-in via foursquare then you will get the 250 points & it has no bearing on your ability to earn free nights as per the q2 promo....

Read my post again. I was clearly not talking about the 250 bonus pts on this thread. That post is on the main 4SQ thread. At best, my only mistake was in not realising that the free night aspect of the promo ended in May. In short,

I don't know how this happened, but most of the replies had nothing to do with the unlocked award night locations. I'm having a difficult time processing the confusion due to the title of the posting. "Foursquare Unlocked Award night locations..."


I guess it could be confusing because the "night" wasn't capitalized.

I think there was only one reply with the location of a 4sq award night.
I wanted to know if there was a pattern to it.

Perhaps, most of the people that got award nights through this promo are not FT members.
