Please can we buy streak freezes with our B points? i have been sick this week and tried to do one review a day to keep my streak but didn’t manage to do it yesterday and now back to zero. I know I should have put myself on vacation mode but I had one brain cell this week.

you can manually set your streak. it’s under settings and then “reset”. quite hidden ^^

I let mine die so I never have to think about it again. It’s can become a liability.

That’s what I do with all my streaks the moment I start to notice that I stress about the number. I have my streak hidden, I care way more about my “days studied” counter. A number that can only go up 
But I totally get those streaks are highly motivating for a lot of people. So it’s a good thing you can manually set it. So even if you get sick or just plain forgot, you can just set it to the last number you remember without having to contact customer support or exchange hard earned buncoins for a streak freeze like you duolingo forces you.

I lost my streak once when I was in hospital in ICU. I was so upset with myself afterwards that I didn’t study for 2 weeks and then I realized how dumb that was and just turned it off all together. I know it is motivating for a lot of people, but for me it had the opposite effect. I am glad I can hide it, because it is way too stressful when something out of the ordinary happens.

You cant get achievements with this though.
But would you get the achievement for 50 days (or whatever) if you set your streak to 49 and then do one more day? 
good to know and sort of annoying considering I’m going to have a 22 hour flight in September.
Is there any way to work around it so I don’t lose my streak?
