    Tip out there that I have figured out. Each year at this time of the year I always get my premium membership. I always buy the gift certificate premium membership (for myself 🙂 who says I can’t gift myself) which automatically gets me the free trackable they always have. In the past I have bought the combos with geocoins or additional items for additional value. Spend $5 more get the free shipping. But I like to get the free trackable with my membership…… granted usually spend more money and get a second trackable haha

    I did that last year when I got my dad a Premium membership. He wanted to try find a few on his own to prove he could, because he normally only caches with me. He was having a hard time with his phone, but he’s getting a new one, and wanted me to renew it for him because he didn’t get to try this past year. He doesn’t want the free trackable, though, so he asked me to renew it electronically. He does have 3 TBs roaming around, but he’s barely into geocaching in general. He’s less into trackables.

    And, my whole iTunes payment history is based off gift cards to myself. 🙂

    Thanks, MT!

    I did order one for myself, and should get it either Monday or Tuesday. Figured the upcoming trackable promotion will help me get motivated to get them out there!

    I like that coin! Glad it has all of the “You might be a…” on it, rather than being one of the 4. If that’s the “yet-to-be-released” coin that’s in all the stockings, then I’ll be happy. I’ll admit, out of the 4 YMBA, I only think the  trackable one applies to me. Certainly not the Connoisseur one, as I actually like LPCs & power trails, and will most likely never have one with a T5!

    Cool that you got the marble! I always thought that was a neat item for sale, though I never considered getting it.

    But….where is the generic trackable dog tag? How can it be a Groundspeak grab bag if there’s not generic travel tag?!? 🙂

    As soon as I get mine, I will, as usual, post its contents.

    Mine came today! Contents are identical to MTCLMBR’s. Only, my candy cane was broken. 🙁

    I like the marble even better in person! I’ll most likely use it as others have, as a discovery at events object. I never really cared for the look of the trackable t-shirts, but this as a necklace is totally up my alley. And as luck would have it, I plan on going to three events in the next month. 🙂

    While not part of the “grab stocking,” the free trackable was larger than I expected it to be. It’s twice the size of last year’s holiday tag.

    Off to activate!

    Thats what I thought to in that it was larger than I was expecting.

    Since I still had one of the tags I got last year, I did a side by side pic. Also, this is what I did with this year’s tag.

    Thanks for posting this! I’ve been a little distracted with getting my feet wet in another GPS activity, so I didn’t even notice they had them. As it is, sounds like it’ll be one I can pass up without feeling like I’m missing out. I still have to activate ones from the grab bags this fall, after all. Still, looks like you got a good deal!
