+Tungstène Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hi, I received a mail from the HQ a few minutes ago. It says I was awarded 5 locations. Quote Selection is based in part on the following criteria: An active Premium membership Subscribed to marketing emails Does not have a current credit or active Adventure (a “credit” gives access to the Adventure Lab Builder to create an Adventure, with up to 5 locations) Is active and has found Adventure Lab Caches These credits have to be used before August 31. The problem is that I already was awarded 5 locations a few weeks ago (contradicting quoted rule #3), because I applied to it and was chosen. The credits then were to be used before May 1st. The builder confirms I only have 1 credit. I would like to know what will happen after May 1st if my ALC isn't ready then. Quote Link to comment
Frau Potter Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Congratulations! We made an error in the last round of distributing Adventures so you do indeed have two sets of Adventures that you could choose to create. We have corrected the error so it shouldn't happen in the future. We may remove credits that are not used, after the deadline passes. But in your case you would have an additional credit available to use. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

+NLBokkie Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) @Frau Potter, can you please explain how the “Adventure credits” actually work, as I'm confused over them. End of October 2019, I got the mail from Geocaching HQ that I was chosen to create and publish an Adventure Lab. No idea if the adventure credits actually showed “1” then, but I could create the adventure lab without problems. By the time I was creating and almost ready to publish the ALC (sometime mid-January), the adventure credits were set to “0”. But I could still keep on building the ALC like I could before. I just wasn't sure I was able to publish the ALC with credits set to “0”. After contacting HQ over this, the credits were set to “1” again. I've published my ALC on February 29, and it's live without problems. However, the adventure credits now remain set at “1”. A quick test showed like I am actually able to build another ALC at the moment - and I sure would love to do that. Now does all this mean I can actually build and publish another ALC now, with the first one being live already? Or am I misunderstanding what the actual meaning is of having “1 adventure credits”? Please enlighten me. Thank you! Edited March 12, 2020 by NLBokkie Quote Link to comment

You actually have one credit and our mistake was in sending the 2nd email, making it appear as if you had a 2nd credit. So officially you still have the first credit and the deadline is May 1, 2020. If you are unable to meet that deadline, you can request an extension by writing to us via Help Center (choose Adventure Lab at the end of the list): https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=request Quote Link to comment
gearguru Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 @NLBokkie the additional Adventure Lab Credit you received was part of a special Travel & Tourism project to help increase the number of Adventures in certain cities. I will provide more details in a separate email. 1 Quote Link to comment

+ElmsFam Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I am publishing my first AL tommarrow and am wondering if you can get a second credit? Thanks! Quote Link to comment

The opportunity for a second credit is a random selection. If you have completed creating your Adventure by December 15, 2020, you have the chance to be selected to create a second Adventure. Geocaching HQ will randomly select at least 500 creators (with geographic distribution) to receive a second Adventure Lab credit. There is no need for users to write in to request a second credit. It is a random selection. Quote Link to comment

Why are you not fixing the app including the super requested feature of hidding completed AL and do the integration?Been over a year we are waiting. Listening to your community from time to time would be appreciated. 3 Quote Link to comment

Not around here. Theres only a few within a hundred miles. I just got awarded my second AL credit and according to the email, "We have randomly selected geocachers from those who made their first Adventure public by the stated deadline, and are in locations we are targeting. You were chosen as part of this process." Considering how few ALs are in this rural area, this made sense to me. I hope the next round of credits will focus on areas that don't have many existing ALs and limit the credits awarded in areas that are already saturated. Quote Link to comment

Only, not as extreme. We only have about 6 in our area! More would be great! On 12/11/2020 at 6:32 PM, Lynx Humble said: Our maps are already enough flooded of cheap +1 Hmm. All of the ALs in my neck of the woods are very high quality and teach a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment
+frosch1953 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hallo und schöne Weihnachten. Wie kann ich die Einstellungen ändern und Marketing-E-Mails abonnieren? Das ist wohl der einzige Punkt, den ich nicht erfülle um den Zuschlag für einen LAb-Cache zu erhalten. Andere erhalten bereits den zweiten Zuschlag und ich warte hier umsonst. Schade.
