How to get rid of an unearned Souvenir '?


Recommended Posts

In a German Geocaching-Blog I recently read that one can earn country and other souvenirs even as couch potatoes without ever having fulfilled the criteria for getting the souvenir.

It has been tested by the Blogger and it really works.

 

Looking through my own souvenirs which I accquired over the years I noticed that I have been awarded in 2013 with a UK souvenir without ever having been caching in UK. This happened by a logging error.

To keep my souvenir list clean has anyone an idea how to get rid of such an unearned and unwanted souvenir?

No

Yes.

 

Have a look at my souvenirs. I hid all the "date" souvenirs, so all you should see are "place" ones. Right? (Somebody please tell me I'm right. The feature's kind of pointless if not...)

 

Yes, you're correct. All I see in your profile are "place" souvenirs.

 

But, really, I think that if the OP contacts Groundspeak and asks to have the unearned souvenir removed, they will do that.

As recommended by Pup Patrol I contacted Groundspeak and their answer was almost quicker as the speed of their site :)

 

The UK souvenir in my profile has been manually deleted.

As per GC the souvenirs are auto-rewared for the GC code entered and with two separate systems a souvenir is not deleted if the find-log for which the souvenir is granted is deleted.

This general problem has been passed on to the developers but with a long to-do-list it may take some time .... if at all.

 

Happy Caching

You can count on me: Whenever I plan to decorate my profile with a really earned UK souvenir I will contact you before crossing the Channel.

At present my summer target is into another direction with a visit to Riga and Tallin.

If you do go to the UK, yo will probably have to ask Groundspeak to award you the souvenir.

I wouldn't have thought that would be the case.

I'll personally be in a similar situation in August where I'll be legitimately earning a souvenir that I had to previously get deleted, so I'll report back with my results.

I just realized I never reported back. After previously getting a souvenir removed by HQ, it was automatically awarded again when I found the necessary cache. There was no need to get HQ to manually add it.
