WHY wasn't there a Secret Badge after finishing BOOK 8 Mix n Match....?

[Runner]

Yes cause that darn Euchre badge has kept me from getting my mix & match book 7. 

Okay that makes sense, that is why your badge central still works. Once you finish that album, it's screwed.

How screwed?

Like Homer Simpson playing with plutonium.

Like many people here and elsewhere, I have completed every Mix and Match challenge to date.
Here's what Pogo had to say when I wrote them asking about the free badge for completing M and M Album 8:

"Hi XXXXXXXXX

Thank you for contacting Club Pogo Support.

"The mix-n-match badges are even more popular than we
expected! As you know, you receive a special Secret
Badge every time you complete a mix-n-match album of 20
badges.

The problem is, some of you have completed over seven
albums, and we don't have enough Secret Badges to go
around! We apologize, and we are quickly working on
creating more Secret Badges."

If I can help you with anything else, please write back
and let me know.

Sincerely,

Pogo Jim
Customer Service Representative
Club Pogo"

So, they dropped the ball once again. We buy and play, they ???
Just like the coveted Beta Tester badge not ever being awarded. I've SEEN the  Beta Tester badge- it's on another Pogo Fan site that doesn't talk about cheat programs.

The badge has now been added to our accounts. It is the Jumping For Joy badge.

The badge has now been added to our accounts. It is the Jumping For Joy badge.

Thanks!  I've been holding off getting the last badge in the album until it was fixed.  I played it today and got the Canasta badge and the Secret Badge.... woohoooo it's workin'!

[tokiehog]

If you notice they have been taking longer and longer too give us The new mix and Match badges.

Used too get them around the 15th  now it's like the 21th.

There allways has too be a weekly badge too play along with them now. :%#

Greetings,
The real reason POGO changed the new Mix and Match challenges...was to match up with my American Express Card due date.

Thanks POGO

I finished M&M book 8 and got a badge called Jumpin' for Joy secret badge. BUT........
I had to look in the special badge section of my badge book to find it.
It did not pop up after the last game, nor do I know if bonus tokens were received for compleation.
The badge only showed up in my book after I went to look for it.   Badge central...then special edition.
It was two days after finishing M&M 8 that I found I did indeed get a badge.
I have also noticed this problem with other challenge badges. I have had to go back
to the activate this challenge page and click Make this my Favorite Badge. After that I click back to my real favorite badge and the missing badge appears in my book.

[jeffy]

if you did all the new mix n match badges and didnt get the jumping for joy mix n match special badge then redo one of the easy new ones and see if it will pop up. i just finished my new ones by finishing the spades one and i got both.

[S1lent]

Greetings,
I appreciate the discussion about the Mix-and-Match Badges and wasn't sure if I had it or not.  I think the correct area to check is
Badge Central...Special Edition...and Clicked on the last page.

Let me know if this is not the correct area to verify the Mix-and-Match Badges.
