Lufthansa Oktoberfest badge returns; available worldwide
Just as they did last year, Lufthansa is offering a special badge for Oktoberfest. But unlike last year’s badge, which was only available in Munich, this year’s will be available worldwide.
Foursquare users will be able to unlock the badge by following Lufthansa and checking in either at recommended locations around Munich’s Oktoberfest or at German-themed locations worldwide. Relevant categories include Beer Halls, Breweries, German Restaurants and Oktoberfest festivals. The badge will be available September 17 – October 3.
Each user who unlocks the badge will receive a 20 Euro flight voucher good for their next Lufthansa flight.
In addition to last year’s Oktoberfest badge, Lufthansa sponsored a badge for the Eurovision Song Contest. That badge was also available worldwide.
It’s nice to see brands like Lufthansa considering foursquare’s international audience when creating badges, especially when they have customers worldwide. For foursquare to continue growing, it’s important for users to feel that it’s not just a service for New Yorkers as many previous badges have made it seem.

YES! I hope I get one for heading out to GABF.
Beer Garden in Astoria! Who’s with me?
Ooh, lovely.
This would explain why the “Bergoff Oktoberfest” in Chicago has been trending non-stop since yesterday… even though the badge isn’t active until Tomorrow…
Drink socially and responsibly!
