It seems that these gamification offers are available only if you are not offered an alternative quarterly offer. In my case, I got 10 miles/$1 for gas and 5 miles/$1 for groceries, up to $1,500 in spend.

I got both the 10miles/$1 gas and 5 miles/$1 Grocery + Amazon and the Badge game offer. I typically spend under $1000 a year on this card. My spend is typically only when I get bonus categories

It says 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion which is well into Feb 2023 although in past promotions it seems to be around 3-6 week mark.

This is the one that was closest to mine. Everything identical except 4000 miles if I spend $6500 on the card.
My UA Explorer card is already in my digital wallet. Do I just need to do the five purchases?
This reminds me of one of those convoluted Starbucks Rewards do x activities/purchases games they roll out a couple times a year that are not worth proactively doing anymore since they devalued the reward redemption a few years ago.

data point - I completed the download the Chase app badge and sign up for marketing email badges on Oct. 3- Just got credit for the app badge. So it seems that something is working....

This came up on my home page in the app and when I entered my details it told me I was ineligible. This happened three times - the third time was not the charm. It was just a complete waste of time.
I understand targeted promotions but this was just ridiculous. End of rant

I'm wondering about this, since my UA card was already in my digital wallet, too. Two badges show a progress bar: "Spend/Transactions as of October 08, 2022**." No progress bar on the digital wallet badge, despite having used it for 3 or 4 purchases. Do we have to remove the card and re-add it?

Thanks for the data point. I signed up for the ads and it finally took effect for me too. 2 easy badges down

completed the 60 credit card transactions and apple pay badge too (no credit yet).
The new Nov.1 badge is just dumb. I am not pursuing this any longer (1 completed 3 pending) - would need another just for the 5 badge goal

Bill Pay
Does anyone have this Bill Pay offer? If so, how do you set it up?
I watched the video Chase provided on setting up a bill pay, but there is no way to have it paid using the United card, the only option it gives me is my Chase checking account.

I don't read that as requiring billpay. I read that as a recurring bill, like your cell phone bill or electricity or streaming services. Anything automatic.

I set up the digital wallet on Apple Pay in early November, used my United card 5x through Apple Pay on Nov 11 and my statement has since closed. However, I don't have the green check mark for completion yet. How long does this usually take?
I also opted in to receive Chase prizes and emails back in October -- this too hasn't got the completion check mark yet.

This game is fairly annoying. I received this on my Quest card.
I already have the card in my Apple wallet, I got credit for that activity.
I have already opted in to promotional emails from Chase, but it won’t let me complete that task.
I bought tickets for 3 flights this weekend and each time I tried to do the pay with “miles & money” but neither the United app nor their website on my desktop would give me the option to do so despite me reading a tutorial and watching a YouTube vid on how to do it. Like, the option was there a month ago but it’s just gone now.
I was hoping to accomplish some of the easy tasks but looks like I’m gonna end up failing to even get the bonus for finishing 5 of them.
