For the addiction solli badge, activate the badge just before you do the volcano, you should easily get the badge then
loz
Dan says
Just bought all but 1 of these, that was extremely difficult for me and will be fighting with myself until next year when it disappears. I, for one, however do not want to be spending the next 2 weeks mindlessly clicking in Monopoly Slots, praying for the non existent dice, and then praying that I land on a railroad not ONCE but TWICE. First ever M&M I haven’t bought.
As far as the other challenges go, I am looking forward to them all except Pinochle, this is another badge purely down to luck of the cards. It is nice to see a different couple of games thrown in the mix.
Happy badge hunting everyone!
bonnie says
I was hoping this months M and M’s would have a coupon code to use to save a few bucks!
I’m so disappointed in the looks of ALL the badges lately,..I love pretty and at the least interesting looking badges.. lately this has in my eyes been LACKING! Some badges are downright UGLY and in fact I wouldnt be caught dead wearing them!! Now being a badge addict I’ll still buy them and earn them but it would be so exciting if once in awhile there was a beautiful badge to wear like in Pogo’s past.
I’m also very disappointed that the new jig saw case wasnt released last night and so far it not up yet ..WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I guess I’ve crabbed enuf today ! hope everyone had a great Memorial day!
now to add my name and bdate..
april24~~~ rchvanho2~~~ bonnie
ty sooooooo much for this site! I love it and Depend on it so much! in fact I go here before I log into Pogo now~!
MomsBassetHound says
Dan – You can always buy it and wait until there is a weekly badge in Monopoly Slots. That way you will be playing the game for the weekly and get credit for the M&M at the same time.
Good Luck Everyone!!!
Suz
rustybutsharp says
Got the “DO NOT DISTURB” sign hung on the front door and starting the new Mix-N-Match badges. The weekly badges for this week are Golf Solitaire – Tee Time Badge (win 3,500 tokens this week) and Harvest Mania – Maize Maze Badge (win 10 jackpot spins this week) so maybe we can knock out two badges at once with the weekly badges. In addition starting tomorrow (June 2) a new special edition badge will be activated: Summer Bloom 2010 Super Badge (win 20 challenge badges between 12 AM PT June 2 and 12 AM PT July 28! This includes Personal and Premium Challenges!) Looks like a busy month for all us badge hounds. Have a GREAT WEEK everyone and keep those cards and letters coming in.
mspatmac says
Good morning. It’s killing me not to start on my new m&m badges but I’m waiting until tomorrow so they will count toward the Summer Bloom Badge. Have a great day all.
Jennifer says
Good afternoon.I am waiting until tomorrow to start on my Mix and Match badges so is will count toward the Summer Bloom Badge like mspatmac said. Not bad badges at all, except Monopoly Slots. And since there is a weekly and a mix and match badge for both Golf Solitiare and Harvest Mania, why not kill two birds in one stone…. Have a great day ev1 and happy badge hunting.
nowshining says
To mspatmac – that’s what I am doing 🙂 – I bought the ones on sale tho but have yet to buy this months badges – however I plan on getting a premium album tho when I get the money – I am waiting on paypal and my debit card to add to the paypal site so I buy an album.
Well Good Luck to you all on ur badge challenges :).
If I do buy this months badges I may go for the following (not in particular order):
*First Class Solitaire – Reclining Seat Badge
*Pogo™ Bowl – Two-Hand Toss Badge
*Makeover Madness – Robot Stylist Badge
*Mahjong Garden – Garden Variety Badge
*Harvest Mania – Crop Rotation Badge &
*Golf Solitaire – Lost Ball Badge
– I wish badges would be like 10 gems each and NOT 16 – ugh! 😀
Ardenwolfe says
I completely forgot about the Summer Bloom Badge. Smart idea. I’ll wait until tomorrow too.
Pat says
Yes, some may want to wait till midnite to load the MnM badge—that was the theory Suz (Moms) and Adelie and I started with–LOL. Then we altered it-You can have a MnM badge loaded and 99 per cent done…then right after midnite, complete it. Hmm what other badges can you do that with–oh, jigsaw detective, all but one puzzle done. What else, old premiums…That is what started us on the Marathon for tonite. To have badges all but done and ready to complete right after the badge comes up. That is how the mania started. At this point, my status is: Locked and Loaded. LOL May the games begin.
MomsBassetHound says
Have almost all 20 of my badges set up for the Super Badge…should have it within an hour of it being released. There are a few of us that are getting up in the middle of the night for this…LOL Yes, I know we are crazy.
I’m working on the new M&M’s since I’m not using them for the Super Badge.
Good Luck Everyone!!!
Suz
beth says
for dan #2 and every one in pinochle you can always buy the bid even tho you dont make the bid that way you are calling trumps yourself and you can call it the suit you have the marriage in, you may not win the game but you still get credit for the badge 🙂 gl all on your badges!!!
kaley says
I have a question… How can you have 20 badges set up for tomorrow. When you start a M&M badge and then start another don’t you have to deactivate the one you started?????
I would love to get them started, but afraid if I start and almost complete I would lose all my time spent on previous badge.
Sheljin says
Dan #2 – Wow, I hadn’t realized how bad that Monopoly Slots badge was until I read your post and then went back to re-read. I don’t always read the new MnM badges that carefully because I very very rarely buy any brand new. I wait for sales……….or for them to almost be retiring, when Pogo forces my hand. lol
I agree with Suz, tho — if you have all the other MnM badges, it would be a shame to not get this one and just hold it for whenever Pogo “graces” us with another badge from that game. It really does seem like one that is going to take alot longer than 2 weeks to me – but then again, what do I know?? lol
GL to the badge marathoners! Wow, Suz — 20 already locked and loaded? C’mon Pat – let us know how many you have ready. I’m tempted to get up just to watch you all jump around Pogo in a frenzy. lol
Maybe it is just me………but even though I’m not overly fond of the Harvest Mania game, I end up loving all the badges they do for that game. Very cute.
Okay, off to finish my weekly personals up………
~Shel ;>
Lura says
Let’s try to stay on topic please, there will be lots of room to talk about the super badge tomorrow on the challenge thread.
Kaley: you can activate numerous PBA badges.
Lori says
I got all the MnM badges today except battleship and makeover and I may still get those. LOL
Is it only the PBA badges that you can activate ones or can you do MnM as well.
gl all on tomorrows badges
MomsBassetHound says
Lori – The Makeover badge is easy. You can give a bone to every dog, you don’t need to wait for one to bark.
You can only have 1 Mix & Match badge active at 1 time.
Suz
Lori says
Thank you moms. I almost never buy the albums because there is always one I cant do but I do get most all of the mnm. I dont know why but makeover is easy but I dont like it. Thanks for your help
Kat8mouse says
For the Pinochle one, do you have to win the game in order for the “marriages” to count? I rarely, rarely play this game except for badges.
pogofan says
Kat8mouse (*19)…you will get credit on the badge even if you don’t win the game, gla!
MomsBassetHound says
Kat8mouse – I haven’t done this one yet, but probably not. You could get a royal marriage in every hand and not win the game. Winning the game has never been a requirement for this type of badge.
Suz
shirley says
going to get 5m&m would luv toget all, if someone could tell me where to find promo codes shirley
whanapian2 says
Just got all the MnM badges except the Monopoly..Gonna work on it tomorrow.
The easiest one is the Golf Solitaire. I don’t understand Hearts, Pinochle, Domino; So i leave those matter to my bro. And he got it. So all i have to only this Monopoly Slot >.>
MomsBassetHound says
No promo codes for the new releases. The last promo code expired yesterday, but was only for certain badges.
Suz
laura says
i have a question about m slots what does it mean by get 2 die, does it mean dice before i get this badge i would like to know ,i should no cause i ranked out in it but maybe i dont understand , also like u moms i have picked my badges from past albums , ty for any in put , love this site
Agent 99 says
I wound up grabbing five of these new MnMs (Monopoly Slots, Golf Solitaire, Battleship, Mahjong Garden, and the Addiction Solitaire. I’m sure i’ll eventually snap up the rest but i’m not in any rush.
Monopoly Slots was not as bad as I’d feared…I started on that one early, hoping to finish it up before tomorrow (a badge with a 2 week time limit, right before badge day?!) and it went fairly quickly. I got lucky, landed on a railroad, and then my next roll was a perfect 10. Just make sure you’ve got the tv on or something while doing that one : )
The Hearts badge is really pretty, but I think I got my very first grey hairs trying to get the last hearts badge, so I’ll have to give it a bit more thought.
Good luck to everyone working on (or not working on, as the case may be~) this month’s mix and match.
widow says
laura–2 die =dice. die is the singular of dice, a plural.
i’m on the dreaded mono slots right now…thought i’d check in here and read the comments…
MomsBassetHound says
Yes, you need the dice to move.
Suz
adeliegerbers says
I purchased all the MnM badges (giggles) because, even tho I can’t play them all…..I figured someone (wink) would be sick of my whining and help….you two know who you are…heehee.
Actually, I am looking forward to Mono slots because I have been parked in jail for 3 weeks now. (I didn’t do it. I am innocent, that’s my story and I am sticking to it!) Hopefully, working this badget might get me out of jail…then again!!!
Good luck to everyone on badges.
Hope to see some of you into the wee hours working on these badges.
Lura – thanks for everything and if you don’t post this, I understand.
God Bless.
Brinn says
GL all on your MnM badges! I know it’s been said here before, but it bares repeating… the surveys are a great way to earn gems! I’ve earned 83 gems so far and that has paid for the MnM badges I wanted for this month and a little leftover. I’m going to continue to earn them and try to save up enough again to purchase an Album. I don’t do any of the surveys that require a credit card or an address as I feel those are too intrusive… but there have been several others that I’ve qualified for and received gems for! New surveys post everyday…. so my routine now is to come here first :), then to the Pogo Survey Page, then off to the Pogo games!
l3ear's Mrs. says
Oh such a dilemma– to many nice M&M’s this month. Most definitely will be getting almost all of them.
Dan– #2– Buy it– ya know you want to–besides it is a really good looking badge too.
nowshining –#8 10 gems?? I’m afraid those days are gone– they don’t even go on sale for that anymore– maybe when they retire ya can get them for 8 gems. Those are my favorite badges even if I don’t like the badge– Cause it was bought –On SaLe!!
Shel–#14 — yeah I’m with you sale or retiring– why change the way I’ve been buying them this far into the game.
Adelie #29 — There’s a lil’ portable blow-torch in the cake.. cut your way out. Wee hours of the morning– I’m giving that a try even though I started a lot later then you ladies 😉
Enjoy working on the new M&M’s
twisty *,*/
beth says
well since the badges didnt release @ midnight (twisty #30) im taking odds lmao *giggling* ill take pat and 3 badges already done…ummm and the wager uhhh lets say a m&m the next time there is a sale lmao….

GOOD LUCK all on you m&m badges and those waiting to buy them for a sale they will be as fun then as they are now lol gl all ….beth
Sibpaws says
Finding the Mix and Match for harvest mania a challenge. Tried many ways to collect the veggies and not getting credit. Any ideas
Indy says
Kss, rusty and I all played together and activated the M/M Harvest Mania to play at the same time we were working on the weekly challenge. We played through and finished multiple seasons and it didn’t add up or give us anything toward the m/m badge. We did, however, get credit for the spins required for the weekly. Maybe I am misunderstanding the requirement?
lazaro884 says
Same problem as kss, M & M not getting credit for veggies harvested!
CAbreeze79 says
Same problem as kss, rusty, indy and lazaro…not getting credit for veggies harvested. I switched browsers, from IE to firefox and the problem was solved. No rhyme or reason that I can understand, but it worked for me.
Indy says
RE: Harvest Mania June Mix/Match Crop Rotation
I logged into pogo chat and explained that I can’t get the Harvest Mania mix and match badge because it will not give me credit.
And this is how that conversation with Pogo Bruce went (you will note that about 3/4ths of the way through the chat, Bruce probably was told by someone else in the room there was a problem:
Pogo Bruce: I see that you have not won this badge yet.
Pogo Bruce: First, please double-check the challenge’s requirements. It may be that you have not have met a score requirement, etc.
: No – I cannot win it – won’t give me credit – some say you have to have Firefox
Pogo Bruce: In order to earn this badge you have to Collect 500 veggies in 1 week!
Pogo Bruce: Sometimes, it may only look like your progress isn’t updating, especially if you’re looking at the website “behind” your game window.
Pogo Bruce: To address this and make sure your progress is getting updated, please close all Pogo browser and game windows, and reconnect to Pogo. 3. Then, check your progress again. It should reflect whatever your current progress is.
Pogo Bruce: Please try this first.
: many other are having this same trouble with this same badge
: doubt that is the problem – the chat rooms are filled with people unable to get credit when playing this badge
Pogo Bruce: Wait!
: I’m here
Pogo Bruce: There seems to be a problem with this new badge.
Pogo Bruce: And I would like you to know that our engineers are already alerted about this and they are working to fix this.
Pogo Bruce: In the mean time, you can try playing for the badge or I can add the badge to your account right now. Please let me know.
: Please just add it
Pogo Bruce: Okay, please be on hold while I add this to your account.
: okay thanks Bruce
Pogo Bruce: Done I have added the badge an the 2000 tokens to your account. We are sorry for the inconveniences this has caused you.
Pogo Bruce: Is there any thing else apart from this that I can do for you?
The badge now shows in my mix/match album as “won”. Keeping my fingers crossed that no one “takes it back” tomorrow. haha
I did have a moment in time where I almost made a comment when he acknowledged there was a problem and asked me if I still wanted to continue playing for the badge……now duh Bruce……
Ahhhhh Pogo – ya gotta love it.
lr3216 says
Hi, #16….Indy, I am having the same issues with that Mix and Match Crop Rotation badge for Harvest Mania and I did activate it in the book. Getting credit for the spins but nothing comes up for the number of veggies at the end of the game. Lura what do we do now??? Thanks!
Indy says
Ir3216 (#38) – Please read the transcription of the live chat above I had with a Pogo representative – you might want to do as I did, tell Pogo of your problem and request they add to badge to your mix and match album as completed. Good Luck!!
lr3216 says
Indy….thank you so much….I shall be calling Pogo Live Chat now! Thanks for your help!!! Have a great day from rainy Oregon!
Esqué says
I got the same run around with live chat support. What I think is happeniong is that unless you completely finish the badge and leave a room, it causes some kind of a glitch. I had had 144 veggies and left the room, but when I came back I was back to 0 and they were no longer progressing at all. So, I cleaned my cache and reactivated the challenge and then stayed in the room until I had all 500 and that did the trick. Hope this works for others. The explanation I got from live chat was that he thought there were too many people playing the game at once and that was why it wasn’t working, which made no sense to me at all. He did offer to give me the badge but since it was only 500 veggies, I told him I wanted to give it a shot first. Good luck!
mspatmac says
Good morning. The Pogo gods are smiling on me today just got the dreaded Monopoly Slots m&m badge in about 15 minutes! Only took four rolls of the dice to get it! Happily I have 11/20 and except for my personal, they are all new badges. Not a bad way to start the day.
Have a great day!
MomsBassetHound says
When I finished M&M Album #23 I was awarded the Nettie with Parasol Badge. It’s not for completing any certain number of albums, it’s just one of the random badges you get when you complete a M&M album.
So everytime you close out a M&M album you will have a chance of getting that badge.
Suz
beth says
WTG!!! and congrats moms…im not sure if i have that 1 or not as my dial up is so slow its impossible to look thru all the badges and see if i have her..*SIGHS* but i have had wireless ordered for almost 3 weeks now, they keep telling me they are waiting on some kinda radio that goes on house so i can get their signal, and have searched all other options and NONE avaiable..on wait i can get hughs net (sat) but its not unlimited and they want 120 bucks month and just aint worth that to me and needless to say cant afford that if i did i couldnt afford pogo so would defeat the purpose lol…
MomsBassetHound says
Beth – You don’t have to look thru all your badges….Go to Badge Central, My Collection…..and open the Special Editon Badge Album.
It probably will be on the last page since it’s only been available for a couple of months.
Suz
Kay says
Got summer badge lastnight! thought i would never get those 20 badges done lol Hope E1 has agreat weekend.
Kay
p.s. Gl to all working on those badges !
karen says
HI all I did the special badge the first day on wed all I kept doing was reactivating the water hazard badge of mix and match in golf solitaire to get badge. hope this helps some then you don’t have to do 20 different badges have a good day gl all.
EllyMentary says
Hear hear!! to bonnie, #3. I do agree with you that most of the recent badges are ugly. I was so afraid I was the only one who thought that. I’ve even written to Pogo saying I wouldn’t buy the ugly ones but I think I lied. They never listen to me though. Possibly if a lot of us tell them we don’t like them that would work. Where is the artist who designed Jungle Gin? Let him/her do the next badges please pogo.
Pat says
Not having a lucky day here—have invested between 3 and 4 hours on Mono slots in past day and half and have not moved one single space. I play awhile, then load another MnM. The only one I have left now is Pogo bowl. I am great at getting the jp spin (150 score or more) and can sometimes get a score of 200 or better. But, I choke on the turkey. If I have 2 strikes in a row, I get so nervous that turkeys are really rare. Two good choices left. Hmmm Hope all having a great day.
