Level 8 Local Guide since 2018: Inquiry regarding promised rewards and perks

Hi @Ellen1

The pages about rewards/perks have been changed. Please see

The mentions of rewards are pretty much removed.

There were a ton of problems with perks getting lost in the mail. And sending out physical rewards is way more expensive than the value of the items.

Fortunately, the Connect Live events have returned. They are super fun, although only very few people get invited. I think this mega reward is more valuable for our community.

Please see this announcement

The deadline for 2026 has already run out.

Hopefully, there will be live events in 2027 also. Keep an eye out for announcements on the front page of Connect.
