Hey
On the local guides page, I’ve seen people mention that they get gifts from Google Map as their level or points increase.
However, I have not yet received any presents from Google Maps… I used to check mails.
(I don’t expect anything from google maps but just curious to know )

It depends what level you are on and when they decide to send you a gift. Check junk mail but check the email address to make sure it is coming from Google brand addition rather than random email address. You can keep on doing what you are doing to help others to find something good.
Hi @Parvathy24
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
