How long does it usually take for your blanket to arrive? I started my first term on Nov. 1st and haven't received mine yet. (Yes i'm worried about a blanket 🫵)

Finally, the owl's nest has restocked the highly coveted WGU branded blanket!! It's so soft and will keep me warm this summer during the cold exams and it will help to keep me dry when I start crying because I didn't pass 😂

I'm sharing this over here to the r/WGU_MSDA community because I know its going to be relevant to many of you, just like it was to me. You can go to the original discussion on the main WGU subreddit for more details, but here's the important stuff: Kudos to u/imaginaryhouseofblus , whose comment here gives the details : I had no idea what this was until I googled it. For those who haven't signed up for a welcome gift/don't know how to access it: Go to owlsnest.wgu.edu Complete the challenge activities for new students (very basic survey questions) Redeem gift : ) You get to choose from tumbler, mug, and blanket Personally, I got a WGU blanket when I did the BSDMDA as a welcome gift, but I did not get a second welcome gift when I did the MSDA. I graduated in Mar 2023, and I am not presently enrolled at WGU. Nonetheless, I went to the owlsnest.wgu.edu website and filled out their starting challenges (took about 10-15 minutes of very basic stuff) to earn points in their new reward portal. The initial challenges finish off with giving you enough points to get a reward from the store, consuming 500 points (you should end up with exactly 500 points, or slightly more). Once you're done, you can redeem those 500 points for a WGU blanket. Presently, my gift request is pending approval. I'll post an update when I get more information and let everyone know if this worked or not, but at present, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. If you never got a WGU blanket, I definitely recommend it, they're much better quality than I had expected. Worst case, your cat or dog will enjoy it, even if you don't!

I followed this tutorial, but I'd like to add some comments of my own as well for some extra detail: https://mycyberjourney.weebly.com/how-to-get-the-blanket.html

  1. Sign up Owl's Nest owlsnest.wgu.edu/

  2. Do the welcome challenges

  3. After doing some of the welcome challenges, you'll get one where you need to verify your student ID. Do this and wait a few days for it to be verified.

  4. After verification, do the rest of the welcome challenges (I think there was just 1, which gives enough points to finally redeem the blanket).

  5. In the rewards page, you can choose from the blanket, a tumbler, or a mug for 500 points (which you'll have by now). Make sure your address is on file in your account settings.

Note: Once you redeem one gift, the tumbler and mug will be gone, but you can still get the blanket for about double the points it originally was (or at least this is what happened in my case). The blanket is honestly really soft and nice so I would recommend it, but if you really want a mug or tumbler, redeem that first. Then by doing daily check ins (up to 38 points a week) and other challenges, you should hopefully have enough points for the 1,055 point blanket by the end of 1 term.
