Not receiving Perks

I am currently at Level 7 working towards Level 8 and I have never received any perks when I see posts about persons receiving additional google Drive storage as well as socks etc. Do I need to adjust some settings to receive these?

I’m also not received any information on the perks. Please let me know.

We do encourage you to keep contributing on Google Maps and to check your email settings and update/monitor your email preferences as well as your spam or promotions folder for benefit emails.

Thanks @deepakjhic for providing the information.

I received socks. Many of the perks are things you can purchase with a discount. It would be cool if they offered travel perks! Like discount on hotels and airlines.

The experience is similar for others also.I have expressed similar thoughts in past.

I have crossed level 9 and my contributions achieved so far with some hardships.I am a Top local guide of my city as per feedback. I received many E mails from Google.

I have not received any perks ever since I joined the LG group.

I think there are no Perks available for my Country Pakistan.

This is so unfair that we put too much effort for making maps

better and got nothing from google. :slightly_smiling_face: My friend got 10 level

this month he also didn’t get any perk till now.

Hello @coderinn ,

Sometimes perks are available and it will vary from time to time and from region to region. It depends on who the Google partners are. We are always working in finding new perks that can be interesting for the community.

For more details about perks, I recommend you to read this article - Question about a Local Guides perk email? Read this first.

@AngieYC Thank you very much for helping out.

You said “It depends on who the Google partners are” If there is

no google partners in our city or country so it is

understood that we cannot get any perks now and in future.
