I did a lot of testing with this badge and still have yet to know for sure what makes a "legit" Douchebag venue. There are rumors all over the internet that the tag is "reserved" and only 4sq (and possibly super users) may use it but I have yet to confirm that. In the mean time I know from experience that all things tagged douchebag/douchbags do not unlock this badge and not all the venues listed have a visible tag, yet they still unlock the badge. All of the venues above have been personally tested and all have been used to pop the badge. If you find one not on the list feel free to share! Congrats to all those who have gotten the badge and happy hunting to those who haven't!
i was wondering if you could tell me when check in someplace how long am i supose to wait till i check in the next venue by the way im using mobile website i need working on this badge ive been waiting 15 or more to check in beetween venues help please!
@ironpatriot if you're checking into venues in the same city you don't have to wait but you are limited to 3 check-ins every 15 minutes. So check in to three venues, wait 15 minutes after the 3rd check-in and you can start checking in again.
If you're going between different cities, you have to wait the amount of time it would take you to travel there. This has been explained many times over on this forum in various discussions. If you don't know how long that is, us this website: travelmath.com. If you select which cities you're traveling between then select flight time it'll give you how much time you need to wait.
So it'll take a little work on your part to map out how you want to do it, but it's pretty straight forward. All of the info is there for you.
Yes so given what I told you and the venue list above, the badge should be pretty easy and straight forward for you. I think expecting someone to give you an itinerary of every venue and exact wait times between each venue is a little unreasonable. All of the information is there for you and has worked for countless others. It will require some work on your part but really we've done all of the hard parts for you already. Good luck!
Well they are making it tough. You can no longer search for the keyword Douchebags as a tag on either the website or phone. I FINALLY unlocked the badge yesterday but it took MUCH more than 20 checkins at locations tagged as douchbags
@kevinjames Yes. It takes 25 and the visible tag has nothing to do with whether or not it counts toward the badge. You can search for it on the desktop version but you'll have better luck using "tips" instead of tags because people will sometimes leave a tip that they got the badge at a venue. Thats how I found a lot of the ones on our list.
@jw2482 I have never heard of anyone that has unlocked the badge at just one venue.
The hardest part with this badge is that the "douchebags" tag is a hidden tag that only SU's can add and remove (reportedly), and not just any venue that some random person tagged "douchebags" will work.
@jw2482 I have tried doing 23 different venues and 2 repeat visits...it didn't work so unless the same venue 25 times works (and in that case would most likely have to be over 25 days), then it must be 25 different venues. maybe someday I will have the patients to test it over 25 but until then...
@Bman make sure you're allowing proper travel time between cities and that you are getting points for each check in. You can only check in 3 times in 15 min and 30 in a 24 hour period. Beyond that you will be considered "rapid fire". You will get no points for these cjeckins and they will not count for the badge
