Hi @NianticGiffard, I still have not gotten a single Upgrade reward from the Russia challenge 13 days ago despite having reviewed quite some submissions as a Great reviewer, therefore being 100% confident there were at least not one but multiple agreements within the event window. Can I please finally receive these Upgrade rewards?
I am confused as to why there is silence on responding to this thread. Everyone on this thread waited patiently for a response but we can all see that you're active in location edits so I don't understand why you feel like this thread isn't important.
Were you wrong at the time that you asked us to comment below?
I personally find this silence to be offensive, the general belief here is that most of us are sure we got an agreement - though its difficult to prove unless we have a record of all our reviews and cross reference it with IITC.
I believe we all have a right under GDPR to request all data that you have on us, including data that is indirectly linked to us - this would include all wayfarer reviews as you were able to link agreements back to us in order to rewards those who participated.
Whats the best avenue to make this GDPR request?
If we make the request and can prove the agreements will you then respond to us and award us with our Upgrades/in-game rewards?
Looks like something is happening indeed. Email "Russia Wayfarer Challenge Integration Test Email #1" with passcode. No upgrades yet, but this looks promising.
Like others I received my email with the Ingress passcode about 2 hours ago, still no Pokemon go rewards or Wayfarer upgrades as of yet. 🤞@NianticGiffard
As I am on lvl7 in Ingress, I didn't get any passcode, but it has been almost two weeks since the deadline and no Wayfarer upgrades or PoGo rewards yet. I am extremely disappointed, worst scam Niantic could pull against the reviewers (who are doing their job for FREE)
Something is happening; today a friend of mine who’s waited for her rewards for two weeks got a passcode related to these rewards for Ingress in e-mail, but she has not received her upgrades.
There might be hope NIA is fixing this ordeal. Of course it would not hurt to communicate about it a bit…
I read that some have received an email from niantic, but I still have not received anything! I reviewed a dozen Russian proposals during the event! @NianticGiffard I wouldn't have worked for free, if I hadn't said the rewards would be, you can't change the agreements after the event ends, so what happened to my rewards?
So you tell us there was a deadline the submissions had to be approved by to receive our upgrades. What is the deadline you have to give us the upgrades we are still waiting on? Or the deadline you have to tell us what is going on?
Hi. I received the upgrades, they were apparently added to my Wayfarer profile automatically, but still didn't get any email with the code for Pokemon Go. How do I get my raid pass and other rewards?
I apologize for the lack of communication from our end since my last comment. We had been continually working on fixing this problem in the background and were in the process of adding rewards to the affected accounts. One of us will be sharing an update on this issue soon.
I'm convinced that the only logical thing at this point is @NianticGiffard has either quit, been fired or has taken a sabbatical. No other reason for this long of a delay.
Thank you again to everyone who participated in the Russia Wayfarer Challenge! Throughout the event, we had 8,435 Wayspots approved, with 13K participants reviewing 301K nominations and edits.
The Double Time Rewards have been awarded to all eligible participants who reviewed Wayspots in Russia that received a decision during the event. We have heard your feedback regarding the eligibility for the rewards and apologize for the miscommunication. As a result, we will be distributing the in-game rewards and Wayfarer upgrades to anyone who has reviewed a Russian Wayspot nomination, regardless of whether there were Agreements, and will ensure clearer reward eligibility criteria for future events.
Thank you for sharing, @rodensteiner-ING! We had made changes to the eligibility of rewards after receiving numerous feedback. We'll ensure to be more transparent and provide more clarity for upcoming events so such confusion does not arise again in the future. Cheers!

Still didn’t got any Bonus from the Russian Wayfarer Challenge. No upvotes and no PoGo Code. Only thing was that I could change my Homecity back.

I participated in the Russian Wayfarer event and haven't received the rewards yet.😔
Just received an email with the passcode for participating in the challenge, but no upgrades received. Are they still coming?
Looks like something is happening indeed. Email "Russia Wayfarer Challenge Integration Test Email #1" with passcode. No upgrades yet, but this looks promising.
I received an email this morning with my Ingress Passcode (shame as I stopped playing a few years ago now) but no upgrades or PoGo items yet
Same here, received an email with Ingress Passcode, but no upgrades yet.
@NianticGiffard still no rewards for me. Got an email today for my ingress bonuses but still no rewards in Pokemon Go and also none in Wayfarer.
Why is that difficult to get the bonuses? Very disappointing 😞
Received an Email with the ingress passcode, but no pokemon go rewards and no upgrades. Still waiting for that.
Like others I received my email with the Ingress passcode about 2 hours ago, still no Pokemon go rewards or Wayfarer upgrades as of yet. 🤞 @NianticGiffard

Code arrived, thanks, but no upgrades yet.
@NianticGiffard hi..still waiting rewards for Pokemon Go and upgrades..pls advise
I read that some have received an email from niantic, but I still have not received anything! I reviewed a dozen Russian proposals during the event! @NianticGiffard I wouldn't have worked for free, if I hadn't said the rewards would be, you can't change the agreements after the event ends, so what happened to my rewards?
@NianticGiffard please inform through email if we fail to get the rewards..still waiting to know
@NianticGiffard hello. i still have no rewards and no upgrades :(
Hi, I received the code. But I did not receive the "agreements" from wayfarer. Also I would like to reset my "Home location". Thanks
So you tell us there was a deadline the submissions had to be approved by to receive our upgrades. What is the deadline you have to give us the upgrades we are still waiting on? Or the deadline you have to tell us what is going on?
Hi. I received the upgrades, they were apparently added to my Wayfarer profile automatically, but still didn't get any email with the code for Pokemon Go. How do I get my raid pass and other rewards?
The rewards in Pokémon Go added automatically without a code or appearing in journal
We all need to stand together and stop reviewing and doing their work for them. They clearly don't have any respect for any of us
I apologize for the lack of communication from our end since my last comment. We had been continually working on fixing this problem in the background and were in the process of adding rewards to the affected accounts. One of us will be sharing an update on this issue soon.
I haven’t received any of my rewards for participating in the Russia challenge
Thx we get a comment on what's going on at last.
I am very curious if there will be any rewards for me and all those others who didn't get theirs too.
Meanwhile I am one of those who won't review anything anymore. I really hope you can get that fixed!
I'm convinced that the only logical thing at this point is @NianticGiffard has either quit, been fired or has taken a sabbatical. No other reason for this long of a delay.
