Account requiring email address


Team Red Roo

Recommended Posts

I have enjoyed Geocaching for over 20 years now, but my greatest enjoyment is going Geocaching with my Grandchildren.

One of my Grandchildren has 100 finds and IIRC his email address is the same as mine.

I'm trying to set up a Geocaching Account for a second GC but it requires a unused email account - how can I get around that ?

When we first started, everyone in the family had the same email address for their GC account, but now you can't do that. Just create a free email address for the new account.

Thanks to both responders for your answers.

 

While I may  be able to create a free email account for the grandkids, it just isn't good enough - GC SHOULD TAKE NOTE - I'm not happy doing this!

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "It Isn't good enough."

 

Bottom line is, you can't set up accounts for your grandchildren unless they're 16 years old (or is it 18?).

 

First of all, I don't know a 16 year old who doesn't have an email address, and second of all, your email address NEVER gets exposed unless you expose it, so it's safe. Probably safer than virtually any other similar company, hobby, website, etc.

 

So, assuming both of your grandchildren are over 16, what exactly isn't 'good enough'? You say you're trying to 'get around' the requirement of having an email account - frankly, too bad!
