Steps

Understand some of the names of some of the most-common and best obtained badges.EXPERT TIPYelp Elite MemberChristopher Batchelor has been writing reviews on Yelp since 2010. He became an Elite Member on Yelp beginning in April 2018 and he has written over 1020 reviews and uploaded over 650 photos.
Try getting some of the easier badges first. Elite Yelp Member Chris Batchelor says: "The easiest badges to get on Yelp are the Rookie badge and the True Yelper badge. To get the Rookie badge, you just have to check in to 2 places within a month. For the True Yelper badge, first check in to a business, then review it."

Check in and then write a review of that business (in that order) and you'll receive the "True Yelper" badge. This one is a classic and easy badge to obtain that combines both challenging major topics of the service.

7Check in to businesses everyday for a period of 6-7 days, and you'll be awarded the "Mobile Streaker" badge.
-
Check in to three different domestic shopping places in one day, and you'll receive the "Domestic" badge.

Know that these badges above, are the easiest to obtain, but through more and more check-in usage, you'll see others arrive. Some badges have minimum amounts of check-ins, while others may have different chores you'll have to complete.
- Realize that Yelp tends to add and subtract badges at their will, but the major badges tend to stay put. If you don't see a certain badge on this list, don't worry. Yelp has potentially retired that badge or this site hasn't listed that badge yet.

However, after they "dulled" this feature down, it's become more not-like any badge. it's not listed on the badge page. Yes, it might have some "badge-like" features behind it, but people won't see it as a Yelp badge.Thanks
