Didn't receive the badges in the package mailed to me

[Bomland]

Badge of Honor is absolute dog shit. Empty packages, not shipping anything at all, no communication method except an email that’s likely not even monitored and never answered. They’d be better off discontinuing it altogether than luring people in then doing absolutely nothing.

I still have 6 badges that I haven’t received since as far back as May. I don’t expect to ever see them and I won’t bother checking in any longer unless they get it together.

It sucks because, sure they're a vanity item, but I've had some great conversations with other jerp owners just because of our badges. They had some from different parts of the country and it was an interesting conversation. It could add to the Jeep community if they could get their shit together.

The program is heavily flawed, but your logic is silly. Of course they’re just free trinkets. If you drove thousands of miles and did trails just for a piece of stick on plastic that’s not their fault. You wheel because you enjoy wheeling, not because of sone badge.

That said, you’re completely right that they should administer the program with some competence or discontinue it altogether. Jeep really puts their name on it for marketing, but is eerily quiet when it comes to actually following through and addressing problems. It’s completely random as to when it works as intended and when it’s useless.

I’m in the same boat as you are.
Turkey Bay 5/4/22
Poughkeepsie Gulch 9/5/22
Engineer Pass 9/5/22
Black Bear Pass 9/6/22
Ophir 9/6/22
Imogene 9/7/22

Odd, I was in Ouray a week later and I got all of my badges within 2 weeks.
Poughkeepsie
Engineer
Ophir

That’s what makes it such trash. There’s no order or reason to anything. It’s not that they’re out of stock. I have some of the ones that others are still waiting on. And having no entity to address issues or even communicate.

I disagree, my logic is not flawed. The intent is to run all the badge trails. So the badge is important. I have 15 badges that I have not even put on the Jeep. Being goal oriented at times is a pain.

Just know, nobody and I mean nobody drives a thousand miles or in my case two thousand miles to run a trail like Peters Mill run because they want to run Peters Mill Run trail. The trail is just part of a bio goal. It is a six mile trail that is like a bad dirt road. You can drive a mini van down it. They travel to it specifically because it is a badge trail. There are other badges trails like that also.

For instance, I and others would travel across the country to run the Rubicon Trail even if it was not a badge trail. There are many… hundreds of non badge trails that I have run andI don’t get a badge. I run the trail because it is a cool trail. Yet there are trails that I run specifically because it is a badge trail. Like the Tread Lightly trail in Florida. Nobody would travel very far to run that trail. They only do it because it is a badge. If you say, hey drive a mile or two thousand mile and I will do this for you, honor your agreement.

To me it is a simple, say what you do and then do what you say. The badge program lacks honor just as many of the people that claim badges with out running the trail.

To give the program a pass for lacking honor in my opinion is silly. We should expect more from them and not make excuses for their poor performance.

We did Ophir, Black Bear, Imogene, and Engineer passes 9/17-19/22. Checked in on BOH and then requested the badges on the 20th. Nothing from them yet. We did Snake, Fun Run, and Rubicon Ridge in Arkansas 11/20/22 and already have the badges. WTF?
We plan on doing Northwest OHV this Saturday so will be interesting when or if we get a badge from that.

I gave up and removed the badges I had on my rig, it’s been over a year and still nothing.

Looks like Jeep updated the Badge of Honor app with some UI updates and other tweaks, but I'm now past the 12-week expectation timeframe of a couple of badges. Contacting Jeep results in nothing but silence which appears to be the case with most people.

What [body part] do I have to [inhalation method] over at Jeep to get my badges?

I feel you man. Not sure where to go or what to do.

Just found this thread - and sad to say, same thing. Three badges requested mid-September this year. After 13-14 weeks, nothing. Not a peep, despite multiple attempts to contact following their rules/suggestions in the Announcements portion of the app. And as others have already mentioned the UI upgrade - they removed the ability to see status in the app, so who knows. And one more thing... some how, for whatever reason, I magically accumulate 10pts per day - for doing nothing. Not from others liking my photos (yes, I check), not from running any more trails (until next summer) and not for my sunny disposition (trust me). I'm giving up on the whole Badge of Honor thing. When stuff like this happen if feels more like the marketing gimmick it is, with no honor what so ever. Feeling silly to have been lured into it.
Live n' learn... fool me once, etc. Sigh.
But - I have a groovy Jeep, my family is healthy and life is otherwise very, very good.
Perspective.
So, Merry Christmas everyone!

EDIT: On January 5 (today) I received a e-mail from the Badge of Honor program letting me know one (Imogene Pass) of the three requested badges is being sent via UPS, the other 2 (Ophir Pass & Engineer Pass) are backordered. So be encouraged... it seems there is someone home and they're simply working through a backlog. These requests were from September 2022, so while they do estimate 8-12 weeks, it's not that far off. There's hope yet.

I did those same Ouray area trails, plus Poughkeepsie 9/12 - 9/16 and had all the badges by October. It's not a backorder issue.

We did get to do Northwest OHV on 12/17/22 and had the badge waiting for us when we got back home yesterday from camping for the week. Sent an Email to the BOH and got a generic reply of all the issues that they have been having but nothing specific to us not getting our Colorado Badges.
Northwest OHV is a decent park with some challenging trails but they need to have a lopping day to clear out alot of the underbrush and low hanging limbs. I get it that these are trails but some of these were ridiculous.

I have a slightly different issue with my badges. I have 6 on Karen (I named her long before the memes came out) and was in SW Colorado in Aug 19 - 21. Amazingly I submitted my claim on Aug 21 and 23. I received the badges on Aug 27 and Sept 3. Awesome delivery time...except the first delivery didn't have the badges in it. (Photos attached)

I received my little yellow envelope on Aug 27 with my morale boosting atta-boy from Jim Morrison, my installation instructions, and the order sheet (does not list anything backordered). However, there were no badges included. These badges were for Black Bear Pass and Engineer Pass, two of my family faves.

Although, on Sept 3, I received another package this time for my claim on Ophir Pass and Poughkeepsie Gulch. This time the badges were enclosed. These packages arrived within a week of each other.

It's a clear mistake, no hard feelings, but I can't get a response from Jeep. Any suggestions?

Sorry you haven’t received your badges yet. Have you seen this?

they don’t respond if you email them. Waiting on 5 badges from 8/4- 8/5. First and only trails I’ve done. And now I’m done with BOH, not worth stressing.
