Hooray I’ve had 2000 contributions to my Google map account. But haven’t won anything physical yet.
I’ve seen the images of goodies received by people. They share the images in FB and other platforms, i am not that fortunate.
So is my contribution worthless 
Should I continue adding or stop 
I don’t think it will be a career option or money making venture for me and neither benefiting me in any ways.
But it’s helping others i suppose.
So please answer…
Hi @sidhuchawla
If you expect rewards for your efforts then Local Guides isn’t the best place for you. We are all volunteers. We do what we do to help Maps Users and the community. If you get a reward then it’s a bonus, not a right.
There is no pattern, and there’s no fairness in who gets rewards. It is just a marketing gimmick.
My motivation is the joy of knowing that I’m helping a lot of people and businesses. Also, making new friends here on Connect can be considered a great perk. I find it very rewarding being a Local Guide.
Hang in there, keep up the good work, and maybe one day it’ll be your turn.
You can learn more about perks by reading: Questions about Local Guides rewards. Also, Why be a local guide? is worth a read.
And finally, make sure Rewards is selected in your email settings found here. And update the location to show your current location.
Cheers
Morten
I understand where you’re coming from, but recognize that everyone has a reason for VOLUNTEERING their time to this ‘project’. As of yesterday, I just crossed through 10,000 contributions, but have only been doing this for just over 6 months, hardly long enough for these tried and true contributors to recognize my name. Although it would be NICE to have some type of ‘pat on the back’ from time to time, I’ll continue contributing until I feel like I’m no longer helping, or that I can be of better use somewhere else. - Steve
