What is the World Postcard Day badge? How do I get one?



By sending a postcard through Postcrossing on October 1st (World Postcard Day), you’ll earn a special badge on your profile when that postcard is registered. The more years you take part, the higher your badge number will grow.

Eligible postcards are those requested on October 1st in either your own timezone or in UTC (the timezone used by the Postcrossing site). This means that sometimes the date shown on the postcard page will look like September 30 or October 2 because of the UTC setting. Worry not — if it’s October 1st in your timezone, that postcard will still count for the badge!
