+Puddlesplasher25 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I found a mystery cache yesterday for which I was originally awarded only 5 points. This has now been sorted and I have been awarded the correct 15 points. However I have only been given the earth souvenir - is this likely to update at some point soon? Quote Link to comment

I think I should have receive 30 points for a mystery cache with 18 favorite points ... You can only receive a maximum of 15 points for any cache log. While this was somewhat well-documented in the lead-up to the promotion (though not initially), this critical detail has been left out of the scoring table on the Friend League page.

We created an FAQ for this and other promotion-related questions. 1 Quote Link to comment

+CAVinoGal Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Just checking in - we haven't done much caching since the promo started, but the scoring on what we have done has been accurate: 3/19/18 - 1 Traditional - 5 points - souvenir awarded 3/20/18 - 1 Traditional w/ 10+ fav points (and we added a couple more - it was a very ingenuious hide!) - 15 points and 2 additional souvenirs awarded 3 Traditionals - 5 points each - total points at 35 as expected Tomorrow we will find at least one, giving us 5 more points and the next souvenir. We are also on a personal challenge to find and log at least one cache every day in 2018. With some travel planned during this Planetary Pursuit, we should be able to easily get enough points and variety of caches, plus meet our daily challenge. Without even really changing our caching habits, we'll get the whole thing. Although today's cache with the fav points was choen with the PP in mind! Quote Link to comment

He actually should have earned 35 points according that since he qualified for: + 5 + 15 + 15 = + 35 Quote Link to comment

Some where logged before issues were corrected. The scoring for all EXCEPT ONE have been fixed (GC78J4T); my first find of the day. This mystery is still reporting only 5 points. This is not a big deal for me because I have all 10 souvenirs; but it occurs to me that research into this issue might identify others still reporting incorrect scoring. My scoring and souvenirs are now PERFECT! Thanks for quick resolution to issues during this promotion. Quote Link to comment
+JoenGPS Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Wondering how long it takes for Souvenirs to show up. I have 43 points and only have Planetary: Earth (requires 5 points) Usually you get an immediate response as your logging. Lag = everyone playing today? Quote Link to comment

Well.... got my questioned answered, about an hour and they showed up ..... no notification, the server(s) are probably churning at top speed! Edited March 24, 2018 by JoenGPS 1 Quote Link to comment

Your previous post was helpful. The souvenir service had halted and we had the engineers kick it back into proper working order. Quote Link to comment
