Jeep Badge of Honor 4+

As the President of the Georgia Jeep Alliance I have been organizing club trips to acquire these badges with members of the club in group excursions often traveling many hours and investing multiple days with the goal of earning the badges. The concept is awesome, however after organizing 6 or more of these trips with members of our club, many including myself are disappointed having not received the majority of the badges earned. Multiple calls and e-mails have had no results. Personally I’m waiting on badges for almost a full year now, and many from the club are as well. While I enjoy the trips, we have traveled to places we likely would not have gone to if we had known the badges were not going to be sent. Social media is rife with this disappointment from many other people as well.

I have been involved with Badge of Honor since the spring of 2020. The problem I have with them is they do not respond to any requests you have. I did Backway to Crown King on October 6, 2021. I was thoroughly disappointed in that trail as it was rated as a 10. My opinion was a 5 at best and it ended in a resort area. I wrote my opinion of it and Jim Morrison has been pouting like a child ever since. He refuses to send me the badge I earned for it. It remains stuck in the requested part of their listing. He withheld my badge for Turkey Bay for a year and then claimed it was shipped but I never received an email telling me it was going to ship. I could have informed them beforehand and got the shipping address changed. I have informed them of address, phone number and email address changes tree times so far with no response or changes made in my account. I offered to pay for the second shipping of the badge. The first time I sent them the new email address, a new message showed up in my profile stating they will only respond to the email address that you contacted them with originally. A hacker locked me out of the old email, so I can’t access it. I just did a really good trail in Nevada, Rocky Gap Rd. I gave it a good review and my badge is in the requested stage. I guess I will never see that one because Jim Morrison is still pouting.

I stumbled on this app after doing the Rubicon Trail. I thought, if I had this all prior, I could receive my badge. So I decided to install the app and contact customer service regarding checking in on trails I have already completed. I stated my scenario and they requested GPS tracking info or pics. I gave both and they were happy to check me in on my trail so I could receive my badge. All in a mater of days, I had my trail check-in pop-up on my app. The only flaw I would state, I wish there were more trails near me that are approved as “Jeep” quality trails. For instance, Slick Rock, in my area. It’s a great technical ride and deserved a badge. I’m sure there is a process to adding trails. Other than that small issue, it’s great!
