I'm about to try vec's recommended venue check-ins today. I've been having a really hard time getting this badge, for some reason. And I've been hella careful about my check-ins. Plenty of time between, etc. Hope it works!
I need Help Again I checked In at https://foursquare.com/venue/359036 At 1:00am then i checked in Jacob Javits Convention Center 4:22pm nothing what i do wrong....
@ironpatriot as long as you goy points for the checkin to ICT and JJCC then you chould have gotten the badge. All I can recomend is delete the checkins and try it again. I know that 1am - 4:22pm is more then enough travel time so you should have been fine there.
You would think this badge would be simple. It was for me. I checked in at a random place in kansas city, kansas then wait 30 min and checked in at a random place in kansas city, missouri...presto--badge. But my friend checked in at the air port waited, checked in out of state and no badge. Maybe it needs a full address and not just gps coordinates or something.
First you have to wait however many hours it takes to get from the address of your last check in to where you want to go in kansas then you have to wait however long it takes to get from where you are in kansas to where you are checking in outside of kansas (for example: with my method I waited thirty minutes because that is sufficient time to realistically travel to the missouri side of kansas city).
checked in athttps://foursquare.com/venue/359036 8:00pm/7:00pm their time and now or few min earlier i check in some random place in ks didnt work then somewhere in MO then in yankee stadium which i check in there before didnt work impossible
@ironpatriot this badge is far from impossible. there are VERY clear unlock instructions. they work for everyone else. just because you're having trouble unlocking something doesn't automatically make it impossible. and it's rather insulting to those who spend a lot of time trying to help you.
this badge unlocks every day. I've tested it multiple times last night and today and it still works. my guess is you're not getting credit for one or more of the check-ins. either you're going too fast or using your app to check-in to places far away so you're not getting credit. if you don't get points for the check-in it doesn't count. use the mobile site and see if that works.
@ironpatriot Delete all the checkins u did trying to get the badge. Change your location to "Kansas City, Kansas". Make sure that the time between your last checkin and the time you are about to checkin are far enough apart to have realistically traveled to kansas (example: if the last checkin was in new york make sure it has been 4 to 5 hours since that checkin). Check in at this location: https://foursquare.com/mobile/venue/1494570 Once you have successfully checked in here, check in here: https://foursquare.com/mobile/venue/15245618 No wait in between the two.
