how do i get summer sale 2024 badge

[TTV Gelps262]

ive got all the cards for it but i cant upgrade them into the badge, can anyone help with this?

[TheCount]

you have to wait until the sale starts. It is not possible to make the badge beforehand

[TTV Gelps262]

oh thanks, i got confused bc i already started getting cards for it thanks

Mystery cards start dropping a week before the sale. When the sale begins, they'll convert into the actual sales cards, thus allowing you to craft the badge.

The cards start dropping a week early because that means coupons stop dropping, and there's problems where a coupon will override a game's price even if the game's price is currently lower. Plus it advertises the sale.

You are mistaking the Seasonal badge for the Steam Summer sales event badge.

you get those cards by just playing right?

No.

You get 1 free card from purchasing $10 in games when the sale begins and until it ends.

Or crafting a game badge from now until the end of the sale.

Or doing a Discovery Queue once per day during the sale.

Or you get them from trading or purchasing them on the Market until August 11th when they expire.

You do not get 1000 XP for a badge, you get 100 XP for a crafted badge like always.
So 100 sets to craft badges will net you 10k XP. There is no limit how high you can craft the sales badge, there are some users with levels in the thousands on it.
Depends entirely on how much money you want to spend on the market.
There are also season badges on the points store you can buy which give 100xp for each level and cost 1000points for each level of the badge. Those go up to level 40.

It's mostly pointless, but you get a few minor perks. Mostly, the maximum number friends and showcases you can add increases. If you're not into this retro MySpace style stuff, you also have a higher chance of getting a booster pack of trading cards. These can be sold on the community market. It's typically just pennies per card, but it adds up eventually.
