As an Untappd Insider, you have the added ability to check-in to venues with no distance limits.
This feature is enabled for all Insider accounts, so there is no need to toggle any settings. You will see the "Purchased Location" interface in place of the old "Location" interface when adding locations to your check-ins. If the venue you want to add is not near your current location you will be able to search by city, state or zip to find it. To add a location that is greater than 60 miles away:
- Begin your check-in like normal
- Select "Location" to add a venue
- Select the "Current Location" field and enter in the city, state or zip you want to search in
- Enter the name of the venue
- Add the venue to your check-in
FAQ:
- Why didn't I earn a badge with my check-in?
- You will not earn badges for check-ins that are outside of the 60-mile radius (even non-venue badges), however, progress towards the badge will still be counted. Upon your next qualifying check-in, the badge would be granted.
- For example: You were enjoying a beer at "Greg's Brewery" and forgot to check in so you made your check-in retroactively when you were 100 miles away. You will still earn one check-in of progress towards "Greg's Brewery Badge" however if it was enough progress to grant the next badge level, the badge won't be awarded until you check-in within 60 miles of any qualifying location.
- You will not earn badges for check-ins that are outside of the 60-mile radius (even non-venue badges), however, progress towards the badge will still be counted. Upon your next qualifying check-in, the badge would be granted.
- What happens to my check-ins if I am no longer an Untappd Insider?
- Nothing. You will just be unable to use the feature for new check-ins.
