I got some badges ready for the sale in case there'd be an event. Now ... well ... there's simply nothing. A new comic page every day and clicking through boring lists. Yay. Pretty subpar thing going on. So I thought I'd craft my badges and see if I can get a set of mystery cards. But my crafting did not reward me with a card. I got my badge, a background and an emote and that was it!
Does anybody else experience the same? Is it meant like that? Bad luck for me, I should have crafted earlier? Now this sucks :(

UPDATE: As some people pointed out to me this is a well known bug and the card would still be in my inventory despite there be no notification for it. Turned they were right, the card was indeed in my inventory!

Working for you?

I believe you don't get coupons when you craft on sale only icons and backgrounds.

Usually you get the mystery cards instead of coupons during sales.

Before the sale or now that the sale is live?

I crafted a lot of badges during the sale. The only time I didn't get the mystery card was when the crafting of a badge levelled me up. I believe that is a bug.

Have you checked your inventory? Sometimes you don't get a notification, but the card should be there.

I hadn't done this, but just did and you're right, it's there. Thanks, Quisty!

Did you check the inventory or badge progress? I didn't get a notification but I checked and I had it.

I didn't receive a mystery card on the third badge I crafted today. Maybe it'll show up later? Who knows.

There was a bug where it did not notify when getting the number 1 card. Don't know if that still applies.

There have been times during past sales events that heavy system load has prevented holiday item drops. I just try to do my badge crafting during slow periods now.

Each $10 spent = 1 card

I think it's just a bug. Check back tomorrow, the cards should be in your inventory. that bug occured to me during the last sale several times.

Also: I've got cards, and I made badges just after this sale had started

Others in this thread told me to check my inventory if it might be there and they were right, I did get a cards from the crafting, it just didn't show up when I actually crafted the badge.

It happened to me a couple of days ago. Crafted a badge, no coupon, no mystery card in the inventory. As far as i know, happened to another person from my friendlist.

I also didn't get any cards from voting on 3 full queues. Wierd...

You have to go through all 12 games in the queue and you get your free card at the end. I didn't vote on anything, just skipped each game till I reached the end. Done it three times.

Sorry, misunderstanding then, thought you meant you only went through three games in the queue. Have you tried on the browser and client? I done mine in the browser.

The way to fix the problem (guy's on reddit suggested this), is to finish a fourth queue, and then all 3 will show up and you'll get the notification.

Happend roughly like 30 times when i was crafting badges (and noticed it F5'ing most of the time to skip the annoying long animation).
I did read from 2 sources in the forums people stating that you still get the card its the 1st (0) card that will show up in your inventory nonetheless ... can't confirm myself hadn't paid attention enough attention.

From how I read the FAQ (http://store.steampowered.com/winterfaq/) you don't get a card for crafting the North Pole Noir Sale badge since they specifically mention "game badges".

Well, the delayed resale feature really migh kill event cards.
They will be gone after 4th of January, meaning any card receiced from craft that used a card from the market during the next week will simply vanish...

I wasn't able to get cards for my card farming alt alt during the summer sale when it had Steam level 7. Somewhere they said only accounts level 8 and above were eligible for sale card drops. Maybe this is the case this time too? It worked for my alt this time. It's level 9 now.

"If you’re Steam Level 5 and above, you’ll get a North Pole Noir Sale trading card once you view all the items in your daily Steam Discovery Queue." FAQ says this, thats why i dont get it :\

When you craft badges the "winter sale cards" drops not 100%. Same as coupons. Also not drops if you created "winter sale badge".
