+Gill & Tony Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Does anyone know what GS meant by the "badge for your profile" supposedly earned by everyone who registered a duck? I know I registered my duck at the last minute, but I don't seem to have earned anything. Quote Link to comment
+lumbricus Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Just wait a few days, I'm sure you will get your badge. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Just wait a few days, I'm sure you will get your badge. +1 A bunch asking yesterday as well. Big rush I guess... - Like folks at Groundspeak were stationed at work (on a Sunday), waiting for everyone around the World to finish logging so they can tab everything up immediately.

Rock Chalk Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Participants will receive the profile badge by email this week. (Make sure you have Tips & Tricks checked in your Email Preferences so that we have proper permission to email you.) Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 In todays newsletter... "Thank you to all geocachers who entered a trackable into the HQ Duck Dash.

+jellis Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Not everyone is getting the messages. The first Mission GC I didn't get. Someone told me to check the tips and tricks. So I did. The second Mission GC still didn't come. I guess it took time because I finally got it this time but I don't remember anything about a Duck Dash Quote Link to comment
+Clarkbowman Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I checked "the tips and tricks" after not receiving the first email. It was correct then. and still have not received a single email on mission GC or the duck dash badge Quote Link to comment

+Team I Ricci Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'm quite sad about this badge, I was assuming it was a souvenir and not an image that everyone can copy in their profile. Quote Link to comment

Kinda a sad thing tho, as my TB was also lost in the race (someone took it and never log the retrieval). Quote Link to comment
+Mudfrog Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I received an email today thanking me for entering and participating in the Duck Dash. Only thing is, i didn't buy a travelbug and i never entered the contest. Talk about nice, i didn't have to do a thing to get my badge.. p.s. not supposed to say anything but i think i got it because of my Platinum membership. Quote Link to comment
