Reminder, challenge rewards will start to go out today and continue to be distributed for 2 weeks. All rewards should be distributed by June 5, 2024.
Yep, still the case. Amazon Prime members in the US get free codes often, and they do have to be redeemed via the web store link.
I believe that this was done because iOS users weren’t able to redeem codes in-game, only Android users could, so they just made all users, regardless of OS, use the web store link.
First time hitting the Top 10! Ironically I’ve done more reviews for this challenge than I ever have my entire time on Wayfarer before it. Well done to everyone who contributed to this challenge!
I’m not worried about. And I’m sure that you do a fantastic job as a reviewer
Rejected nominations stay “mine”. Secret locations, that’s not to bad.
One case makes me a bit .
I wanted to add a description where nothing was. Research, research, write a good text, go to the POI, want to add it - and it was to long
On my screen the text was cutted at a point and I think “ok, could be better, but…”, submit.
And than the piiiiiiep machine, cutted my text on a different point
As we all know you can’t edit an edit or delete it, so I decide to submit the text cutted after a full sentence.
But the community decided it would be better to take a half text
If you ever open your gift I’ll send you what I mean.
Agreed. I did more refreshes than reviews, and when the system finally seemed to be working yesterday it was just spam, fake nominations, and manipulative edits in Mexico and Brazil.
Apparently, Apple charges a fee whenever a promo code is redeemed in-game, so it actually affects many apps, not just Niantic ones. Apple see these promo code redemptions as purchases, and if redeemed in-app, the company that runs it will be charged, not the user. Thus, iOS users have had to redeem codes through the web store for Niantic to avoid these fees.
I get it, as we just did free work for Niantic, and they don’t want to spend extra money to give out prizes, and then have to consider raising prices for just iOS users vs. Andreid users.
