40 poinits and 65 points has no value in your side, you and your team give him stickers it really hurt us.

You know how much time needed to earn a badge. Your so called swags are not encouraging us to perform same level labs.

Yes, earning 40 or 65 milestone points takes real effort—completing labs, skill badges, and consistently showing up to learn. It’s no small thing. We hear you.

:bullseye: However, it’s important to remember the core aim of the Arcade program:

“To help you learn and build real-world Google Cloud skills that can transform your career.”> The swags and stickers are secondary—they’re just fun ways to recognize progress, not the final goal.

That said, we agree—every learner deserves to feel valued, and your feedback is incredibly important. The Arcade team has always taken community input seriously, and it helps shape future seasons.

Please don’t let this discourage you. Your hard-earned badges, projects, and skills will speak louder than any swag. Keep growing, keep building, and we truly hope to see you pushing for even greater milestones.

Calculate manually as per point system from 6th of Jan to 27th June 2025 and add confirmed bonus points only sent by mail.

Do not depend on any calculators as they are not official calculators.

After doing your home work , if you find any difference of points , send detailed mail with proper subject to support@qwiklabs.com

65 points (Ranger tier) does not have any stickers.

This post is about Insider mails not about swags.

Please do not mention about swags , for every post of Yugali .

Read post content and if you have any doubt/query regarding topic mentioned in post , you are always welcome to express your views/feedback

You can give your feedback by replying to post where yugali mentioned about stickers swags.

I don’t think that there would be so much difference between these two. Maybe you thought that you are a part of facilitator but in actual you are not.
Correct me if I am wrong but did you get bonus point mail after the facilitator event ended in June.

I noticed that my final points tally does not seem to be correct. The bonus points (25) I was eligible for have not been added. My friend’s bonus points have been calculated. I have currently received a mail saying that 57 Arcade Points, but with the bonus points (25), my total should be 82 points.

Hi @Yugali

Thanks for the headsup, i have received my email but i can see there are few points missing , for safer prupose i did 2 points extra and reached 87.5 but in the actual email it said only 85 as i was ecpecting, good thing i have decided to do 2 extra points just in case, there is no clarity on how the points are done, eventhough you have shared the image on how arcade points works!!
