Yelp Elite MemberTry 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."

7Check in to businesses everyday for a period of 6-7 days, and you'll be awarded the "Mobile Streaker" badge.

9Know 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.
