Anyone know if there are any codes available for the mix n match badges this month, please
Kaley says
Does anyone know if there will be any discounts for buying gems for this months M&M? Last month I bought all the badges and then the discount came out. Guess I’ll have to buy them 1 by 1 so I don’t miss out. I plan on buying all 12 this month. They all look pretty easy to do.
Thanks
Lura says
No, there are no coupons… this doesn’t mean there won’t be any this month, but take into consideration that their last two promos were kind of gift-related for Christmas and Valentine’s Day, I’m thinking we won’t see any more codes for a while. (I mean, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter aren’t typically gift-giving holidays but I could be wrong.) You won’t ever be penalized for waiting a few days (or weeks or months) to purchase the M&M’s, but as we saw in December and February, you may miss out on a coupon or sale if you purchase immediately. Sad but true.
lorraine says
thanks Lura, may wait a couple of days, you never know
Jennifer says
Badges look easy enough this month. Dread Monopoly Slots,lol. Good luck everyone. I will save both Bingo Luau and Kenopop for Wedneday(Personal challenges in both games).
sallybeenp says
Hi all,was just wandering if anybody else is having problems getting their mix and match challenges? I can’t get to the check out,if anybody knows why please let me know thanx.
don says
I got 11 of 12 mm badges this am. The only one I didn,t get was mono slots as I will never again buy any monopoly badge that relies on the roll of the dice which, for me anyway, only comes around about once every 3 days.
Also, I wonder why every coming weekly challenge has a mm badge offered today except chess ?
Danielle says
Bought all 12 this morning. I almost have them all done. 3 more and I finally hit 1000 badges! I’m determined to hit it tonight. It’s been a badge-riffic day. Phew! These badges are all beautiful, too!
Pat says
I often hear problems with checkout, but, don’t know where they occur. You have a choice of gifting to another or add to cart. Once all the itmes have been added, you scroll up to upper right, where it says check out and depress this. This should take you to the check out page with carts and/or gifts and a balance of tokens/gems/money, depending on items, badges or mini mall. Skip over the enter code, until we hear differently, and enter password. If you can figure out where it goes wrong, please let us know…
Toni says
I had problems with check out at first, and had to go in individually to get them once I clicked on the icon.
l3ear’s Mrs. says
I think this month’s badges, all but 4, have some of the nicest icons I have seen in the past few months. I just wish the `Bowls of Balls Badge’ had the brown ball swapped out as the purple ball in the icon. And definitely tired of seeing that little grey mustached man, but will be buying some of them at some point before they expire.
But perhaps some of you can answer a burning question I have. Why is it so important to be one of the first few to purchase them? Why must we own every M&M? They all come down in price soon enough now.
Just an example– this past year I have been very frugal with purchasing M&M’s and PBA. I said I would not buy them unless there gem prices were cut at some point. Believe it or not I stuck to this. I made my own chart for new M&M’s, – Wants- Sales- Absolutely must haves complete with Icons. Wasn’t hard to do and followed it up, thanks to Lura’s site. It worked out pretty darn well. I purchased more badges this past year using less gems then the previous year.
For me–Let’s face it; I got tired of giving to Pogo once they raised their prices.

Only problems I’ve encountered were when I would enter my PW in the coupon spot. Or if it just won’t work 2nd time around I close and reopen pogo.
As always: Have a great day everyone and stay safe. Everyone enjoy your game playing.

Genevieve says
Hi, is anyone having any problems getting credit on the new m/m in Mahjong? I know yiou have to do them on medium and use Pogo tiles, I got credit for one and just completed two more and never got credit, could someone help. Thank You
Cindy4764 says
I just completed a game on MM and got no credit at all. First time I’ve ever had a problem like that.
Cindy4764 says
I just figured it out. We know you have to use Pogo tiles but you also have to use the animal puzzle set, not the temples. You also change that by clicking on Tiles.
Cindy4764 says
Me again, lol. Well, shoot, that didn’t work either. I switched from temple to animal puzzles and still didn’t get credit. I think I’ll do another M&M until they figure out what’s wrong.
rock says
What luck? I held the mono slot of till last on the march M&M and got it on second roll.
rock says
Cindy4764 #14
It has to be on the “pogo” tiles at medium level, i had no problem.
Cindy4764 says
Yep, using the Pogo tiles on medium level and using the animal puzzle set, got no credit at all. I’ll try again tomorrow.
ratpeople_ says
#8 – WOW, almost 1000 badges! Congrats. I only have about 200, but working on more. I have only done the weekly and personal challenges. I am still trying to decide about purchasing the other badges. I am afraid if I purchase an M&M badge, I won’t complete it in time! This month badge’s look pretty easy though, so I might!
Carol says
According to the beta site two of this months mix n match badges will be going on sale. They are the monopoly and scrabble ones along with a lot of the older badges just not sure when the sale starts
l3ear’s Mrs. says

That’s the nice thing about buying M&M’s and PBA. If you do not complete it within the time some of them state, you can always re-activate it over again. Its yours forever. You only have to go to your M&M #1 Album to do that.
Have fun and enjoy

tonya says
does anyone know when the easter badge is gonna come out it said this month but last month they released the valentines day one with the other mix and matches….good luck on the badges
Danielle says
#19 – Thanks =) I did manage to hit it last night! I’m now in the 1000 Badge Club. I joined in May ’08, and luckily had a lot of Badge albums and Mix-n-Matches to catch up on.
As l3ear’s Mrs. said, once you purchase an M-n-M, it’s yours forever, no matter how many times you have to activate it. There have been some I’ve tried more than once!
Dannie says
Easter was April 12 last year and the Easter Limited Edition 2009 (Word Whomp) was available from March 30 to April 13. This year Easter is April 4 so they will either release it towards the end of the month or beginning of April. I can remember that MnM badges used to be released towards the 14th and not the beginning of the month.
Rock says
Cindy #18
you are misunderstanding, you do not want the animal set of tiles BUT THE what says “POGO” tiles when you click thru the choices of tiles… on medium level
Cindy4764 says
Rock, sorry, no I’m not misunderstanding. I am using the Pogo tiles, I always use the Pogo tiles. I’ve played two complete games and have received no credit.
Besides the choice of tiles, there is a choice of animal or temple layouts, so I thought perhaps you had to use the animal layout in addition to the Pogo tiles, so I tried that as well. Still no credit.
I haven’t played yet today, though, I hope I get credit today. On the up side, I finished two of the other MnM badges last night. 🙂
Kimikoyo says
Cindy, take note, as Rock said, you have to play on medium difficulty! That’s all.
Give it a try.
Pat says
Cindy, it sounds like you have tried everything you can and I would too be frustrated. When I get like that, i have a ritual of dumping cache, disk cleanup, disk defrag, reboot, and try fresh. Don’t know what it clears up, but, glad it does. I just figure somewhere along the line, i get the lint out of the lint filter..hope you get it working.
sallybeenp says
Well figured out have to get my mix and match badges to go to check out,had to turn the protection mode off on explore then restart get the badges, then turn it back on then restart.This was the first time this ever happened to me.Hope it doesn”t happen again a big hassle.
ratpeople_ says
#21- THANK YOU for my very first album! I can’t wait to try it. I so appreciate your thoughtfulness. This is such a great site and lots of wonderful people. So glad I found you all 🙂
Lura says
l3ear’s Mrs. (and ratpeople_): you just made my day. 🙂
l3ear’s Mrs. says
#30 You are so very welcome.

I would have to agree with Dannie #24 but adding one more thing. The
Spring Into Spring 2010 Super Badge will be between March 17 & March 31. So I’m thinking after March 31st for the Easter Badge ?

Bingo Luau: This badge goes the fastest in super-speedy, sharing rooms.
DCR: This one goes the fastest in the no-auction rooms.
Lottso Express: A quick tip: use the star balls on numbers that appear the most on the cards.
Mahjong: Use the hint button again, and again, and again, and again… lol
Rock says

Animals and temples are puzzle sets, NOT tile sets,
the animals it refers to are the 12 zodiac animals at top, there are 8 Tile sets one of them being “POGO” the others are GEMS, ORIGINAL, NATURE, TRADITIONAL, FOOD, ANIMALS AND GEOMETRIC.
the animals in puzzle sets have nothing to do with the challenge whatsoever.
MomsBassetHound says
For Mahjong you can play with ANY tiles, you just have to switch to the Pogo tiles before you make your last match.
