75,000 Steps- badge not awarded

[Tray-C]

I hit 75,000 steps yesterday, my Versa has recorded it, but I’ve not been given a badge?

Congrats that is a lot of steps. 

Does the Fitbit app show 75 K for yesterday? IE has your tracker synced since yesterday morning? 

Is this the first time you hit 75K?

Sorry, I thought I’d replied, but it isn’t showing. Thank you, I did a very enjoyable charity hike, hence so many steps.

Yes, I synced it and it shows 75,200 steps. I was actually tucked up in my sleeping bag at 11:45pm and noticed I was on 73,600, so got up and went for a quick walk to hit the 75,000, as I knew I’d be very unlikely to do that many again anytime soon, so I’m a bit gutted that it hasn’t worked. 

I emailed Fitbit, they said although it’s showing over 75,000, i only did just over 71,000 and the rest are an accidental overlap from a manually recorded activity. I had no idea what this meant, but I’ve thought about it and I think they are referring to the fact that I recorded the hike on Strava, but my Strava isn’t linked to my Versa, it was, but it kept unlinking, so it hasn’t worked for months now.

I’m a little gutted as I really thought I’d done it. They said the app will continue to show over 75,000 but as some were an overlap, they won’t be counted for the badge.
