No one would be picking remote locations in the future if the current reward system isn't thought out. What's the point of these challenges if reviewing remote places has no incentive?
Hi @NianticTintino, any news about our rewards? i didn't receive nothing yet, i evaluated many submissions, including i had my owns submissions approved. What i do to receive my rewards?
@NianticTintino@NianticGiffard is anything is happening for those who didn’t get rewards? You keep saying you’ll update us, but no updates at all for this long is awful.
Thank you to all of you who shared that you did not receive your rewards. We have finalized our investigation and will be reaching out to you individually. Here's a quick summary of what we found:
We saw some explorers did make reviews, however, the reviewed nominations did not reach a decision by the challenge timeframe. I.e. 12:00pm BRT
We noticed that some explorers did in fact make reviews and would have been reward eligible, however, decisions for those nominations reviewed in Brazil did not reach a decision within the challenge timeframe (12:00pm BRT) resulting in reward ineligibility.
Upon investigating, we noted that some explorers did in face get their rewards. I'm assuming they reported not getting them right around the end of the challenge and initial reward date but got them soon after.
We saw that for some explorers, they did not make any nomination reviews but did do some edits. Unfortunately these do not count towards reward eligibility since the nomination is already accepted aka a live Wayspot having a photo, location, or description edit, meaning a decision had already reached.
In some cases when we looked at the review history for individual explorers, we saw that reviews were indeed done during the challenge timeframe, however none of those reviews were from Brazil; therefore they do not count toward reward eligibility.
Lastly, in some cases, explorers were reward eligible and were missed by our system. For those, our apologies and I'll be reaching out to the respective team this week to get those out to you.
Thank you all for your patience during the investigation and keep an eye out for a DM from me between today and Friday with specific details about your claim.
That seems unfair (the first 2 bits) because if those people reviewed and the thing passed after it's not their fault, they should be eligible as they reviewed in the alloted time frame
Just to be clear, it's not my pogo account the got the Brazil reviews (so not this one I'm messaging on) but my ingress account (same username, but not logged I to the same way, pogo is Facebook, ingress is Google plus, I don't combine then for personal reasons) so I'm hoping that has been taken into account
Considering that messaging each people that complained one by one is probably a lot of work, I strongly suggest you guys try to avoid it as much as possible in the next challenge:
For the cases where people were right, find out the reason they didn't get the rewards initially and fix the bugs, obviously
I think you should drop the idea of using agreement reached and just consider the reviews done. We have no control or even knowledge about when a agreement happens (nor can we know if other reviewers are reviewing according to the guidelines), so it would be much more fair and much easier to just consider the review itself. Maybe instead of one agreement it could me something like 5 (or any other number of) reviews.
Also, maybe edits should be considered. There was some people suspecting that reviews marked as a duplicated counted as an edit in the Russian challenge.
There should be an easy and well known way for people to check if they are already eligible to the rewards during the event. Maybe only show the banner for people that are eligible, or show a different one for them?
I would like to know how I can receive the code for the Wayfarer Brasil Event that I haven't received so far, I've already opened a ticket but I haven't got any answers… I've been saying I haven't received it for 30 days….
I play ingress and haven't received the reward redemption code…

@NianticTintino Still haven't received a DM about my claim yet, I understand you're busy, but I didn't do this free work to not get my rewards and still questioning it a month after the event is over. Since I am now locked in Brazil for my bonus location. Which I understood we couldn't change but not receiving the rewards or any support is beyond a joke.
Só pra deixar registrado que não dá mais pra perder tempo avaliando. Não compensa sendo que 90% das indicações são rejeitadas por razão nenhuma. E pra piorar, não tem ninguém para avaliar os casos reportados a não ser os próprios jogadores, que muitas vezes tem os egos inflados e se acham detentores da razão e dos conhecimentos desconhecidos do que torna indicações aceitáveis ou não. Uma vergonha
Now, what feels weird to me is that I did Brazil reviews since day one of the event, and I do not remember the exact number of Brazil reviews (did not care one bit to count them at the time) but I do know I encountered quite a few (at least 10) despite their rarity during the first week of the event after witch time did not allow me to review anymore.
What are the odds that none of those reviews reached an agreement? It is incredibly disappointing as both myself and my wife are now stuck in Rio with our location (she also did not receive any rewards from the Brazil event, and did similar reviews as I did) and got nothing out of this challenge.
@NianticTintino-ING I feel like an apology is due from my part, as I just opened PoGo and received the Brazil challenge rewards. Thank you for your effort in trying to correct what happened. I hope future challenges will have fewer problems like these. :)
@NianticTintino-ING I am the aforementioned wife in the post above, I also reviewed quite a few brazilian nominations in the first week but like my husband had to focus more on work and was no longer able to review as much in the last days of the challenge. Is there any hope left for the rewards? Thank you in advance for your efforts.
For those of you who were reward eligible, I've confirmed with the Pokémon GO team and they will be finalizing their reward distribution today. Ingress will be finalizing it by the end of the week.
@NianticTintino I don't seem to have received any rewards so far. I was mainly confronted with reviews from my own region and got very few Brazil reviews, but I find it hard to believe I didn't get a single agreement on those. 🤔
@NianticTintino@NianticGiffard I literally got an agreement from Brazil during the timeframe and still no rewards, I was keeping track during the event in case this happened. How have I still not got rewards, please look into this further.

Avaliei muitos wayspots e não recebi os prêmios e os 4 aprimoramentos na conta.
Bom dia,fiz várias avaliações e não recebi também na minha conta os prêmios e os 4 aprimoramentos.

There may not be a lot of us but there is a few that do it not for the rewards.
Any update yet???

Now been over a week now a half and still no updates. Defo won't be doing any of these things again unless it's in my country

Hello All,

@NianticTintino thank you for your answer, and thanks at the team for looking in depth into this problems.
I think you have found out also that this whole kerfuffle isnt really good for the overall idea of a Wayfarer Event.
Please re-think the whole concept and just leave out "giving items for xy".
Alot of the people that attended the last Wayfarer Events were appalled.
That seems unfair (the first 2 bits) because if those people reviewed and the thing passed after it's not their fault, they should be eligible as they reviewed in the alloted time frame
Just to be clear, it's not my pogo account the got the Brazil reviews (so not this one I'm messaging on) but my ingress account (same username, but not logged I to the same way, pogo is Facebook, ingress is Google plus, I don't combine then for personal reasons) so I'm hoping that has been taken into account
What's the difference between points 1 and 2?
I guess there's some nuance that I fail to understand although I've tried to read and compare them several times.
My. This is what you should tell first to Russian Challenge participants who still didn't get their rewards until now.
Or would you rather give them consolidation rewards instead?
@NianticTintino this is the account I reviewed in Brazil on, rather than my pokemon go one, if that helps with investigation more
Considering that messaging each people that complained one by one is probably a lot of work, I strongly suggest you guys try to avoid it as much as possible in the next challenge:

Pretty much this. I hope at least that there is a lesson to be learned here.

@NianticTintino-ING I still haven't received any rewards. Hopefully you are still checking and they will arrive. Thanks!
Hello Explorers,
For those of you who were reward eligible, I've confirmed with the Pokémon GO team and they will be finalizing their reward distribution today. Ingress will be finalizing it by the end of the week.
Thanks for your patience!

Still nothing for this (my ingress account)
Still rewards are not distributed.
