Done 4 consecutive after 7pm checkins but no luck. Any suggestions? Thx in advance.

Keep trying every night until it unlocks. Sometimes badges are a bit quirky with unlocking.

I'll keep going...thx

Does it help to check into a bar?

I'll try bars but I noticed with others any venue it worked.

i still cant unlock this badges, in my 4sqr ID is still grey but in 4sq.matterofgrey.com is already disappear as my badges to unlock list, anyone can help?

I'm in same boat. I wonder if we deleted history that got us badge and now it doesn't recognize.

Finally got it after 4 straight night Bar checkins.

I've checked in four times after 7 p.m. and nothings happened. Two checkins were in different outdoors and the other two were in the same grocery store. Anybody can help me out?

Bar venue worked for me. :)

@jgomez try another night or more...sometimes 4sq badges are flaky (if says need 4, then system needs to have a 5th check in to give badge) Some times, I even have to do a few more not sure why

I've checked in about 20 nights in a row after 7, most after 11, and still no Bender Badge! Grrrrr!!

@Kensingtonite try around 7:05pm to 7:10pm. Just see if that helps. Good Luck!

I have the same, tried to checkin for a full week after 7, but no unlocking... Kinda weird...

@HouseKeepR_ I need to do some more testing to confirm this, but it could possibly need to be later than 7 and/or it may need to be a bar. It seems that people having trouble with this badge finally get it when they try bars.

I have been having issues getting this badge for my "Real Account".

@Tymora ok, well ill try it this week to check in 4 nights at a bar, see what happens, I'll let u know..

@Tymora it worked, 4th day, unlocked :-)

Testing for me is confirmed. Day 1 checked into an office then a bar at 730pm. The next 3 days my ci's were after 9. First the office then the bar. Badge didn't pop until I checked into the bar on the 4th day. The time is good in instructions but it has to be a bar. I'm going to check other venues to see if maybe its any "nightlife spot" or something like that but it is definitely picky about venue catagory.

Still nothing. i've tried for an entire week and nothing. But reading previous posts it seems that the badge unlocks only after four bar check-ins. Correct me if i'm wrong.

You are correct. It must be a bar, lounge, etc. The unlock instructions were updated on the 12th.

@Tymora
Thanks a lot

@Tymora 4sq must have changed the unlocking criteria since last March 2011. I unlocked my Bender at a fast food venue!

@jgomez no prob and good luck!
@Dan I think it did. I happen to get mine at a bar because I work in one so I was obviously checking in every night right away but remember people getting theirs at other types of venues. It makes sense to go bar only on this one though because that's REALLY what a bender is!

@Tymora Amen! LOL

So, the instructions say the "same" bar, nightclub, etc. Does it really have to be the same one, or can you go to 4 different bars 4 nights in a row?

As far as I know its the same. Haven't test 4 dif. 4 sAme definitely works

is it only apply to bar, speakeasy, lounge, brewery and night club, or for all nightlife spots?
