I can't earn the "Thanks for Sharing" Badge

nallus 2 months ago

I can't earn the "Thanks for Sharing" Badge. I have tried sharing multiple activities, and yes they were all set to public, and have not been able to earn the badge. A friend of mine has earned the badge by having a public activity, press share and copy link. When I do it, no badge awarded. I have tried using both the app on moible device and the website via pc. I have tried deleting cookies and reinstalling the app. still nothing. any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I couldn't find a Share button in the web interface so I used the app. View the activity, click Share button > Web Link and share with something. I shared with Gmail. Note that you don't actually have to send it. Just discard the email. Badge awarded. If the activity isn't public the app will ask you to make it public.

Note: I accidently used my son's account first if another almost identical post also is posted.

Yes, I have been awarded the "Sharing is Caring" badge, but NOT "Thanks for sharing" which is a different badge..! See link: Thanks for Sharing

Yes, I am following those steps exactly. I've tried several times, using both the Garmin Connect app on moible device and the Garmin Connect website via pc. I have tried deleting cookies on pc and reinstalling the app on mobile. Still nothing.

Tried sharing this activity for example, and no badge recieved.

Post the share link. It should look something like this:

connect.garmin.com/.../23373749390 and ?share_unique_id=49 in the end.
