Badges not transfered

Body

Hi,

I've recently merged two of my accounts following this guide.
However after it's all done and I've added the email addresses to the account I'm keeping active, I noticed that the badge I had on the account I closed hasn't been transferred. I normally wouldn't mind, except that in this case it was the Arctic Vault one which I think is kinda cool. Any chance I can get it back?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't fit my use case. I'm not trying to get as many badges as possible but simply get back one I already had in another account.
To clarify, the commits that triggered my achievement have been transferred to my new account but the badge hasn't.

Hello, I may be wrong but I believe that you cannot transfer badges from one acct to the other. I apologize.

Hi, If neither of the solutions you've tried works, you can try contacting GitHub support for assistance. They may be able to help you recover the badge.

@kevin-aude I see that your badges got transferred! I am asking how you got them transferred, as I am in the same position as you with merging accounts. Did you need to contact support, or did they come through automatically? Thanks in advance

I got in touch with support, they asked for the links to commits that triggered the badge and after verification they transferred them to my account. The whole process was no more than 2 days if I remember correctly.
