I am about to reach on Level 7 on Maps but haven’t got any rewards or gifts from Local Guide Program. Can anybody help me to get to register or any other process?

Hi @psycchopath
Welcome to Connect. Nice to meet you!
To make you feel at home I suggest you take a look at Your Guide to Connect (it’s a quick introduction to our community) and feel free to introduce yourself here.
If you have questions, try using the search field at the top first. Then check the Help desk documents and What are Connect topics before asking a new question in the How-to section.
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.
But removing the selfies and duplicate photos you uploaded will increase your chances.
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 know Im not being greedy its just that these cute little achievements feels that our contribution are rewarded nothing else. It doesn’t mean Im going to stop giving reviews or update stuff.
