What are the badges for?

I've just noticed I have a little shopping trolley badge on my profile picture.

On investigating, it seems that 'one of my tips made it into the weekly email' ??

How would I find out what that was? As for the life of me I can't think what it would have been?! :rotfl:

    I got one for haggling apparently. Not sure exactly what I'd haggled for though or what I'd posted about haggling. Just got a random PM saying yay you got a badge.

    I didn't even get a PM - I'm very confused!

    I have no idea, I have just noticed it tonight and looked up what it meant.

    Would be a nice idea to link it to whatever you earned it for (both so that others could see and the OP could remember what it was for!! :rotfl:)

    Hi hieveryone :)

    You should have received an automated private message at the time it was given.

    Can you let us know if you definitely didn't receive it in case there's a problem sending?

    If you have got it, the date you received it should give you an idea when one of your threads was in the email and when - just check the weekly email from that week - as most Money Tipped badges should be given out the same week.
    Could you do with a Money Makeover?

    Hi MSE Andrea,

    I definitely didn't get any PM - would love to know what it was!

    Thanks
