Congratulation for your special gift, @TiffanyStockstill . That pin is really special because not every Local Guides are recieving gift like that. Congratulation!
Welcome to Local Guides Connect, @TiffanyStockstill - great to see you’ve got a pretty cool buddy to take along on your adventures .
Have you taken the time to introduce yourself just yet? I’d also recommend browsing around, discovering your favorite topic board of discussion (photography, food and drink, etc.) and getting to know others in our community.
Could you please tell me how to earn this badge?. I am in level 8 but I still did not get any badge, but I keep on adding content, edits, photos etc. Is there specific requirements that I have to fulfil? If so please mail me, isurumit
Since you are new here, I’d like to welcome you and propose this article that will help you get familiar with the forum. You can also introduce yourself in our monthly section.
P.S.: I wanted to let you know that I will move your post to our Achievements board, where Local Guides discuss their accomplishments in the program. More information on Connect’s labels is available here.
Congrats! Do you have the link or store merch info? I accidentally deleted my emails when they sent out mine. They have products to purchase in their merch store.
Congratulations @TiffanyStockstill . @Bobiisha I think the sending of gifts varies according to the countries. Although I contributed in many areas, I did not receive any awards. Yes, I enjoy something that is done voluntarily, but sometimes it feels like I have been treated unfairly.
I apologize if you have not received a perk. You can have mine, Ill be more than happy to pay it forward to you being you are a level 9. Being a level 9 alone is a reward in itself as it’s not easy to achieve such a ranking so where you feel unappreciated , please note you are appreciated and many , such as myself, admire and wish to be on your level. Thanks Burak for the comments and your feedback. Stay awesome and continue to be influential.
Thank you for this wonderful comment. You are very kind. But the awards that I am criticizing here do not have a specific criteria. It hurts not to get an award by working hard. I hope you will get much better prizes. If I come to your country one day, I will not neglect to bring you small gifts from my country @TiffanyStockstill
This special edition reward was sent to a limited number of Local Guides who have recently contributed on Google Maps. For more opportunities to receive rewards like this, be sure to have “Rewards” checked in your Local Guides email preferences.
Google was using this as a promotion to encourage newer Local Guide’s to continue to engage with maps. Being you are at level 10 is much more benefical than a simple pin. I’m not sure what perks are being offered to local guides now but it seems once your pass level 7 , perks slow down. You reached level 10 quite fast more so than what others are able to acheive. Congrats on that. You can post your question on this platform and a google moderator may be able to answer it better than I. Thanks @FufoChlupaty
