I want to know how i can redeem the local guide points which I’ve earned by providing reviews. Also, I want to know the complete usefulness of earning Google local guide points.

If you were hoping to exchange your points into cash or goods, I will have to dissapoint 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 peek. 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

Olá, @Deweyparamesh
Bem vindo ao Connect!
“I want to know how i can redeem the local guide points which I’ve earned by providing reviews”
Os pontos são concedidos após sua avaliação ser aprovada. Algumas de suas avaliações estão ocultas, e provavelmente as que estão publicadas no seu perfil também ficarão ocultas, pois não estão de acordo com essas regras.
Clique aqui e veja como escrever boas avaliações. Aqui no fórum há diversos artigos escritos por outros Local Guides com dicas maravilhosas sobre como ser útil com suas avaliações.
Escrever repetidamente nos locais “nice”, “good” e etc não é um comportamento esperado de um Local Guide. A insistência nesse tipo de procedimento
pode encerrar sua conta.
“Also, I want to know the complete usefulness of earning Google local guide points.”
Você pode saber mais sobre pontos e recompensas clicando aqui e lendo o artigo “Points, levels, and badging”
Fique sempre a vontade para postar suas dúvidas.
Sucesso

Hello @Deweyparamesh
Welcome welcome to local guides connect forum since its your first post. We hope you will keep active and interactive. Here is A Welcome-to-Connect-Card for you. please accept it kindly. It will help show you around connect briefly.
I see you have already gotten very satisfactory answers and useful link for use. please endeavour to read them up.
It’s quite nice to be a local guide. I have found it to be a nice and useful hobby. Aside the points and badges we interact here on connect. We make friends and acquaintance even outside the connect forum. I have organised physical meet-up of local guides as well perhaps you might like to see this post about FriendshipWithoutBorders-Abuja-local-guides
Therefore we hope you will see beyond points,badges,levels perks monetary rewards etc and contribute voluntarily like everyone of us. I composed this nice poem My-local-guide-lamp-My-contributions-to-lighten-the-world you might like it too.
Happy guiding
Cheers
