[+Cryptid]

Another trackable promotion has been released to be hoarded by the lucky few that received them. No announcement of course.

There was an email sent out to those users opted in to them as well as a blog post on this promotion.

I get emails. Never saw it. 

'There's still the hoarder issue Jon.

For what it's worth I received an e-mail about this on June twentieth.

I'm moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the Travel Bug forum.

I just searched my emails. Still have all of them. Nothing. Must have ended up in spam. However, my issue is more with the hoarders. As in the last several similar promotion/contest travelers, they get hoarded. Search for them, "in the hands of Cacher name here"  you never see them in a cache.  This is how it always seems to be, all the way back to the Jeep contest. I think they should make it a rule, that if you hang on to them, you are ineligible for the prizes. 

Just my rant. Thanks for reading.

Good to see it wasn't just us who noticed all those Michelin man tire gauge trackables that  hit ebay.

I applied for this one and got picked.  I seem to recall that the application contained some language to the effect that, by applying to get a promotional TB, I was agreeing to do certain things, including activating it and putting it in a cache.  I don't recall the specific language, but I think that Groundspeak is displeased with potential hoarders and is addressing the issue as best they can.

I also got one and I feel the same way. I just ordered something to attach to the tag. Then I'll come up with a mission. Then I'll enter it into the wild.

Feel free to hold me accountable. https://coord.info/TB8DY9N
