@Joyi_mk welcome to Local Guides.
The main reward is helping other people with your reviews, edits and photos in the same way that you are helped by the same from other people. Being a Local Guide is an altruistic undertaking. Of course it strengthens the data held by Google and makes Maps a better product but that is still an advantage for the people who use the product. That said there are perks from time to time.
Make sure that in your Local Guides notifications that you have emails turned on visit https://maps.google.com/localguides/home/settings and tick the “Perks box”
@nishant4 that isn’t true - plenty of people enjoy perks

Before saying any thing just focus that may people are not getting profit that’s way they are complaining . And plz not ful any other new guide what I said that is 100’/. Correct . You are moderator If you could help me it will be good for me
Hi @nishant4 if you got a confirmation email then the socks were sent. Not all postal systems are equal there have been reports of postal theft from some communities.
I’m sad that you feel the way that you do. It’s ok to give the feedback that you have, I can understand that you’re disappointed but take care on the wording and remember the Core Values of Connect. You’ll be more likely to get help if you’re being polite and positive.
The Googlers read all posts on Connect so they will have seen your request.

After youtube have sent out a bunch of google nest minis as gifts for some accounts and premiums members. Google could reward but mostly dont. I began usinf this as warning system but have found the value in also making positive reviews. Now, i am understanding the purpose and value… the keepers of shops are the ones who reward me. I just had a free watermelon slice cake. The famous instgramed one. Check it out for its poped up in melbourne
