JetSetter Badge Foursquare

Another hard to get badge I have to admit. To start with I have to say that the new foursquare has made it easier to earn this badge because the airports are tagged and in the system, having said that, it is still a hard badge to earn.

To unlock the JefSetter Badge, you have to check in to 5 airports, which is a lot. I travel for work and able to do this, but otherwise it would have take a long time to unlock

                          

gym-rat-foursquare

To become a Gym Rat in Foursquare you have to actually go to a Gym. Now when you actually earn the badge you get the following message from Foursquare

“10x trips in 30 days? Go reward yourself to the nastiest double cheeseburger you can find (bonus points for cheesy fries and milkshakes). And ps: you look nice today!”

So that is what it takes, 10 trips to the Gym in 30 days, but how does Foursquare know you went to the Gym, or how does Foursquare know that the location you are checking into is a Gym? well someone gotta tell it, and that can be you or someone else. To tell Foursquare that the location is a Gym, log in to foursquare and tag the location. The tags are important to unlocking different badges and the Gym tag is the only way for you to unlock this badge

                          

Super-Mayor-Foursquare

The Super Mayor Badge requires a few check ins and some time to earn, but is not a hard badge to unlock.

For you to be a super mayor you have to hold down the mayor ship of 10 concurrent locations, and once you do that badge is yours.

You cant not earn this badge in short order it will take you at least 50 check ins before you are in a position to earn it, unless of course you check in a very unique locations where you are uncontested for the mayor ship. I am not sure what happens to this badge if you lose some mayorships, is it stripped?

Just for fun, here are the locations I am mayors of

+ Barrhaven Vietnamese Restaurant (Ottawa, Canada)
+ C A Paradis (Ottawa, Ontario)
+ Esso
+ Fallowfield Village
+ haiku asian bistro and sushi bar
+ KFC
+ MacEWEN
+ mamaronic police station
+ McDonalds
+ ottawa roastery
+ Philip Killeen Hospitality Centre
+ Phillip Van Leeuwen
+ Saslove’s Meat Market (ottawa, ontario)
+ stronger you martial arts
