Hi everyone! @DeniGu
I’m a Level 8 Local Guide from Kochi, India, and I’ve absolutely enjoyed contributing to Google Maps—whether it’s reviewing my favorite local spots, adding new places, or answering questions to help others explore the city better.
I love being part of this community and always look forward to new features, challenges, and (of course!) the occasional perk. I’ve opted into all emails and check my inbox regularly, but I haven’t received any perks. Just wondering if there are any tips or updates about how to stay eligible or if I’ve missed something.
Also happy to connect with fellow guides—let’s support each other and keep contributing!

Hi, Welcome to Local Guides Connect.
You haven’t missed anything, Local Guide is a volunteer program and does not guarantee rewards for reaching a certain level.
From time to time, in a selected region, Google may send emails to Local Guides randomly in exchange for such rewards as their contribution to LG, but there are no set criteria or rules for Local Guides to be eligible for any reward.
Have a look at the article below for explanations on how rewards work in Local Guides:

Continue your efforts, and maybe one day you will be rewarded for your contribution.

Hello @Freedazac89 first of all welcome☺️. First of all I have to say this. You are very lucky. Because there are wonderful local guides and moderators here in india for exp. @NareshDarji 
So I am sure they will enjoy helping you. As for the award, this is a completely random event. So there is no rule to win these awards, just luck. Maybe one day it will be your turn.
