The API for third party applications will return members only caches without checking if the person running the query is a member (or at least it used to). When I started geocaching I used to cache & log finds through a Symbian app called geocache navigator. It took me a while (and a strict email from Miss) to figure out why I couldn’t see the caches I logged on the website (but they did count as a find)

Yes – there is a loophole in the system. Quite useful for members of the same family where only one is PM.

I wondered if anybody would comment on that. Only premium members get favourites to award and the percentage only includes premium members. So in this case 2 of the finds were not premium members. However, this is a premium member only cache so this shouldn’t happen. I have checked other caches and the same has occured. Either they were premium members at the time they logged it or there is a loophole in the system that allows non premium members to log a premium member only cache. I will investigate further.
