Look at what came in the mail!

To paraphrase a famous letter, Yes, Virginia, they do exist! I checked my mailbox at the post office today and lo and behold some time within the last week the sticker fairy dropped off an envelope. It appears that it was postmarked on the 15th (near as I can tell - the cancellation stamp is very blurry), which was one day shy of the one week mark of my request. I received 18 stickers in total. Sorry for the poor resolution - my phone's camera was set lower than I thought it was.

Column-wise, I received:

2x Boardwalk Empire Premiere (Two of them?)
Ossified
Mad Men Superfan
Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce
Don Draper
60's Cocktail
TWiT TV Fan
Sarah Lane
This Week In Tech
Catfish
HBO Egomaniac
HBO Insult Artist
HBO Lifer
Magellan
Explorer
Round Table
Super Gluer (How I got sent this one is beyond me - I know I haven't been awarded the sticker.)
as well as a little card noting that they send what they have in stock.

Thanks to GetGlue for sending these out!  One more week and I can request again!

(Storm)Chase down the discounts and (Myth)Bust some prices at the Discovery Channel Store!

GetGlue has come through yet again with some sweet discounts from the Discovery Channel! Fans of Mythbusters and Storm Chasers can net Superfan discounts of 20% and 10% (respectively) on show-themed merch.

Just visit their respective pages and click on the discount button at the top right. Other Discovery Channel shows (such as Brew Masters or Dirty Jobs) will net you a general 10% discount as well, so if you're not a fan of Storm Chasers or Mythbusters (and why aren't you?) then you can still get in on the sale!

Note: This discount appeared for a short while and then disappeared. The general discount that was present on the other shows is still gone. Hopefully this time the other ones are back for good!

My reply to customer support...

Here it is, verbatim:

"GetGlue Crew -

I contacted support today regarding an issue I am seeing with my account. I received the response attached below as a reply. My original e-mail is below that.

With all due respect, the canned response I received in regards to my initial message holds little water with me. I'm not some GetGlue newbie that just did his first check-in yesterday. This isn't the first time my account has been hit with a problem where the proper amount of check-ins to a topic resulted in no stickers being awarded. I'm not the only one who is having trouble with the Daily Rundown set. I'm well aware of the minimum 15-minute spacing requirement that GetGlue's system places on legitimate check-ins. I'm also well aware of the requirements for earning these stickers, specifically being 5 and 15 check-ins. I followed the same check-in behaviors as pretty much everyone else out there that already earned the stickers last night. So unless you're going to go back and yank the stickers from EVERYONE who earned them last night (because they definitely weren't watching the show during its 9 AM time slot, nor were they technically able to watch a new episode less than once every hour, so they were obviously not exhibiting "genuine behavior") or launch an overall investigation into the accounts of anyone who earned both a Fan and Superfan sticker for a single topic in the same day, I'd appreciate an answer that actually addresses my problem instead of accusing me of trying to game the system.  Is there a bug or not, and if so then is support looking into it?

More than a bit put-out,

Frank Hinz

http://getglue.com/fhinz1"

Canned customer response & accusations...

Just got the following in a reply e-mail from GetGlue Re: possible bugs in the system relating to the stickers from last night.

"Thanks for using GetGlue! 


We do not comment on how to earn stickers, but I can say that there are restrictions put in place to make sure there is genuine behavior when earning stickers.  Keep checking in when you are consuming the object, and you will earn the sticker."

So basically they're accusing me of trying to game the system?  Not cool, especially considering this isn't the first time that a bug has hit my account and resulted in me failing to be awarded a sticker based on a proper amount of check-ins. I'll post more in this saga if they decide to reply to my response.

Sticker Bugs Abound

Like many of you I spent yesterday afternoon and evening checking-in to the pair of MSNBC shows as well as Conan and Lopez Tonight. Unfortunately, the sticker bug decided to rear its ugly head yet again and threw most of us into a tailspin. Lopez Tonight and Conan finally came through for me with all the proper stickers, as did Hardball with Chris Matthews, but I'm still having trouble with The Daily Rundown. Fifteen check-ins bore no fruit. I deleted my check-ins in hopes that re-doing them would cause something to pop. The second time around for the fifth check-in got me nothing, as did the 15th.  I've dropped a line to GetGlue support about it because I know I'm not the only one having issues. Hopefully they're already working on getting this resolved. Any readers still having troubles with the stickers from yesterday? Air your beefs in the comments!

Two weeks down...

Update:  Two weeks since my latest request for my stickers. No sign of anything yet.

While that may not necessarily be news, I think it'll be interesting to keep a timeline running here and finally update everything with a picture when my stickers do finally arrive. I do find it interesting, however, that GetGlue has changed their policy on sticker shipments yet again. Originally it was a requirement that you had seven stickers earned on your account before you could request them. Then it got bumped up to 15. Now the bar has been raised to 20, with the additional proviso that they will only send you 20 stickers at a time because that is all a standard envelope will hold with a single stamp.

I can understand the new limitations. It makes sense that they would limit the number of stickers sent out at once, because if they sent out all the stickers everyone requested at the same time it would be a killer on the cost of shipment. Unfortunately they've swapped the cost of shipment for what amounts to a logistics nightmare: keeping track of what they've sent to who. Best of luck to them in managing that database.

Stickers link adds features to GetGlue!

GetGlue has expanded the features on their site with a new Stickers link at the top of the page and a Stickers feed on the home page.  Clicking on the Stickers link at the top of the page will take you to a stickers page that shows you various groupings of the stickers - Limited Time Stickers, Featured Stickers, Groups, and Search. It also shows you stickers that you don't have and will flag the ones you've been awarded.
One down-side to this is it doesn't automatically list stickers that are no longer available. These can be found by searching for them. The images and info for these stickers will appear but the sticker will have a black bar across it with the marking "No Longer Available". (Hint: do a search for "Callie" to see what a NLA looks like).
This is definitely a boon for GetGlue users! No longer will you be stuck wondering what the text or image is for a sticker and you can immediately see if a sticker is live! Now if you'll pardon me, I have to go have a look and see if there is anything that I haven't earned yet.
