Treehouse Bug Prize

Hey Guys I'm just wondering if there's any prize for pointing out bugs on Treehouse website?

i think they give you points and a badge (Exterminator) - which is fine as far as imaginary prizes go. I'm not sure how they define bug - I've seen a couple posts where people are asking where their badge is and whether it comes with a pat on the back and a certificate for 100 brownie points.

It's the "Exterminator badge", as described on the Support Page.

Exterminator badge

It's only awarded to the first person to report the bug, and I don't think there are any "points" associated with it.

Next month will be the 2-year anniversary of mine!

Thanks a lot guys. The bug I found relates to downloading videos even if you don't have a subscription for it

as far as i know, there's no bug bounty, even if the bug is significant. I'm not sure they have deep pockets like google.
