Hi @user_not_found ,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

As long as the other account is inactive, this is not violating our rules. It is against our policies to have two active account participating in the program.

To receive reward email, just make sure to update your email preferences.

P.S.: I will move your post on a separate thread on our How-tos board, as it doesn’t fit in the current discussion. I will edit the title as well so it gets more clear what the publication is about and I will mark my comment as a solution for a better visibility in case someone else has a similar doubt.

Hey @user_not_found ,

There is no process for applying for a reward. The Local Guides program is a voluntary program and is all about helping each other with our contributions. There are some rewards, given from time to time as a ‘‘thank you’’ from Google for your quality contributions, however, there isn’t a promised reward for participating or reaching a certain level. You can read more about it in this article. I also recommend that you check this discussion where you will find some of the reasons for being a Local Guide.

To maximize your chances of being eligible for a future reward opportunity, continue to add high quality contributions to Google Maps.
