Topguest.com is a new location-based site that awards points for Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter check-ins. You get points for each daily check-in at Priority Club (InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn), Hilton HHonors (Doubletree), Virgin America Elevate, Best Western Rewards and Wyndham Rewards are the main draws.
Current participants and their points per check-in:
Priority Club: 50
HHonors: 50
VA Elevate: 25
Best Western: 50
Wyndham Rewards: 50
Choice Privileges
Total Rewards: 50
Kimpton: 1
ClubHotel: 1
Avis: 10% off next rental
Standard Hotels: 1
Viceroy Hotels: 1
Thompson Hotels: 1
Pros: With an Android or iPhone app you can search for nearby properties and check-in. In my experience, the iPhone app has been a bit buggy so I've been checking in with the Chrome Foursquare extension. Easy points. HHonors points posted the next day, but this Milepoint thread suggests PC points post in batches. Best Western Rewards and Avis were just added in he past week so it seems this is a quickly growing program.
HHonors, Best Western, Priority Club, Total Rewards and Elevate also offer very modest signup bonuses through the Topguest portal if you've not yet joined their programs.
Cons: Only one check-in for points is allowed per day, Doubletree is the only HHonors property that is currently participating.
