See above for comments for countries and FT profile age but, essentially, while I recognize there are 200 countries (give or take), visiting even 10 is an extremely privileged position to be in. Less than 5% of the developed world has travelled to more than 30 countries. BUT a 100 countries badge will be coming.
The "free nights" section took a while to populate in my area, but it's there now.

If it's meant to be "free nights stayed this year," then I call BS even on 100 nights. Seriously? Honestly? In calendar year 2024 to date?

I think this one would be better served by "free nights stayed lifetime" or some such.

And I still think a badge for number of DOs attended lifetime would be popular.
