Smart is said to be the first in the Philippines to get a Partner Badge from FourSquare. Customized FourSquare badges are rare and the company charges a minimum of $25,000 a month for its use (there's a 3-month commitment). FourSquare users will be able to check-in at the Lady Gaga concert starting from 6pm to 2am the following day. Fortunately, anyone from anywhere can still check-in and actually get the badge once it reaches the SuperSwarm or 250 check-ins (jumpers are referred to FourSquare users that check-in to places despite not being present in those locations). The Php3.15 million investment for a custom FourSquare badge is the first time we've heard a local entity has made and its a pretty expensive badge if we may say so. According to reports from ClickZ and Mashable, FourSquare has increased their paid badges from $10,000 a month in 2011 to $25,000 a month. According to FourSquare "Partner Badges are the only offering that have a fee attached. FourSquare offers up to 5 custom badges inclusive of this rate so we might see more badges from Smart in the coming months.
