+chillypenguin Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I tried contacting Groundspeak best part of a week ago about purchasing tracking codes for some personal Geocoins. Originally using the geocoins@geocaching.com e-mail address then the help centre. But alas so far I have only established that unlike pizza you can't eat e-mail!!! Can anyone suggest an e-mail address that GS will actually respond to, as I am keen to pay them money $$$$$ Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Did you submit your design for approval? Quote Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I tried contacting Groundspeak best part of a week ago about purchasing tracking codes for some personal Geocoins.

Can anyone suggest an e-mail address that GS will actually respond to, as I am keen to pay them money $$$$$ Trackable codes are sold in minimums-50 codes, so $150, just for the codes. Are you going to be using that many? No? Then the best way is to buy a TB and use that code. You will use that many? First off, all your designs must be approved by Groundspeak. Second- Will you be having someone make them for you, or are literally making them yourself? Most(if not all) geocoin companies PHD coins or Landsharkz for example do a lot of the work. You provide them with an idea or final design and they do all the work. Minor fixes and graphic design(depending on what you provide them with) , buying the codes, registering them, all that fun stuff. TL;DR Unless you are actually producing/minting them yourself, or just doing a one off, it's not for you to worry about. Quote Link to comment
+chillypenguin Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yes I included two designs for approval. Quote Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Or see http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=332 (Trackable code policy) Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yes I included two designs for approval. Is that front and back designs for a single coin production or multiple designs for multiple coin productions? Quote Link to comment
+chillypenguin Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Fronts and rears for two designs. No Groundspeak logo's and they have the "Trackable at geocaching.com" text clearly on the same side as the code. Link to proof's. (Sorry not sure if this will work) Quote Link to comment
+drneal Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 try contacting one of the moderators at the bottom of the geocoin forum page...they should be able to help you contact whomever you need to speak with at Groundspeak ILYK ILYL Quote Link to comment
+chillypenguin Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks for the replies. Annie got back to us overnight. My designs are approved, have sent the payment. Hopefully I should have the codes soon. Quote Link to comment
