How Come I Didn't Receive A Badge?

  • Updated

If you did not receive a badge check the below FAQ for common reasons badges are not awarded. If you don't see the badge in question below please open a ticket and we'll look into it for you!

Any Country Based Badge

On Untappd, we have a hierarchy system when Drinks belong to Brands. You'll notice that the badge hint on the country badges says: "Drink 5 different drinks from a brand from country X". Sometimes the bottle itself will say "Made in X", but we are not indicating this for our country badges, but where the brand's home location is located.

It's not where the drink is made, it's where we have the brand that the drink is assigned to is located. An example is Evil Twin. Evil Twin is brand located in New York City. Their drink bottles say "Made in Denmark", but their country of origin is the United States.

New Brew Thursday

New Brew Thursday requires you to check-in 3 new drinks 3 Thursdays in a row in a 20 day period. You can only level up once every 20 days and can only gain progress towards a level once per 24 hour period. To see if you are eligible to level up, go to your badge page and select the New Brew Thursday badge. If you are within 20 days of date at the bottom, you are not eligible for the next level. new_brew_thursday.png

Power Month or The Usual

All monthly badges (like Power Month and The Usual) calculate based off of a moving 30 day window. Therefore, you must be a member with Untappd for at least 30 days before the badge will award. Even if you Check-In 30 drinks in your first 2 days, since your account is not 30 old the badge will not award. As long as you make a check-in after 30 days and the requirements are met in a 30 day window the badge will award.
