arbuse Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I just received my 2007 Jeep Travel Bug. I'm thrilled! I went to activate it, entered the tracking number but couldn't enter an activation code that it would accept. I wrote down all the numbers that were on the outside of the packaging it came in and tried entering every one of them without success. The activation page says that the code is on the packaging the bug came in. Could someone please tell me what this number is supposed to look like and where it is located on the packaging? Thanks so much for your help! Quote Link to comment

Thanks so much for your help! The jeeps are already activated (and owned by Jeep). Go to the TB tracking (not activation) page and enter the tracking number. Then "grab" it into your inventory.

+BlueDeuce Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) Yep, go here: http://www.geocaching.com/track/ and use the tracking number imprinted on the metal dogtag. Enjoy. Edit: nevermind, looks like you got it. Edited July 1, 2007 by BlueDeuce Quote Link to comment
+muddy frogs Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Just went through the same thing for about an hour last night. Wish I'd have read this first! But I figured it out finally and just grabbed the TB. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
+HappyHabanormal Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 how do you get 1 of these travelbugs? Quote Link to comment
+admo1972 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 how do you get 1 of these travelbugs? There was a sign up a few weeks ago. Jeep has 8000 bugs. I think it was pretty much first come first serve. They're all sent out or at least on their way to geocachers. The only way to get a 2007 jeep travel bug now it to pick one up in a cache.

+HaLiJuSaPa Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Had pretty much the same problem, then figured out the "grab" bit. Quote Link to comment
+admo1972 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 When you signed up for the Jeep TB, there were clear instructions on what to do once the Jeep arrives. I think the problem is that may people felt "rushed" to submit their form to get one of these bugs. Also, the fact that the sign up was a few weeks ago, it is very easy to forget that little instruction screen. Quote Link to comment
cdcache Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 We are newbies-- got the 2007 Jeep Travel bug - there was no info in the envelope... the first time I tried to activate it (prior to July1) I was not able..... today I thought that I was activating by entering the Jeep contest (which required the tracking code) We then placed it in a cache and recorded it on that page and made a note on the "New River" Jeep page, but the area noting 'last seen' did not update (to Gillis Falls 2 where I left it) Now I have a sick feeling that I may be out of the loop and maybe didn't activate it/track it at all....... and I didn't record the tracking code (can only remember some of it) since I now had the reference #. ??? Did we mess up? Quote Link to comment

Did we mess up? Its not really that you messed up. You didnt need to activate it. You just treat it like any other TB you come across. You could have recorded it when you placed in a cache but someone else will pick it up and log it. Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 You just posted a note. You could have "grabbed it" and then recorded the placement of the cache you visited. This would have recorded where the bug was on its page. Link. Quote Link to comment
