Rewards for older accounts

Has anyone else been having issues receiving rewards for older accounts?

When I initially joined local guides, I used to receive rewards (I think I remember redeeming some small discounts). However, to this day, I have still not receive any of the famed “pins” or “socks”, and it’s been a little frustrating considering how much I’ve contributed to Google maps.

It also seems like I haven’t received any rewards in the last 2 years. I think people have mentioned that older accounts don’t receive incentives and these are only targeted to new users. I know that these rewards aren’t guaranteed but it would still feel nice to be appreciated.

Is this true/normal? Should I just not expect any rewards from this point on?

I agree with you. My account is older as well.i never expected to receive anything either. It just felt awesome to see how far the local guides community has come. It does feel special to be apart of the community and being able to contribute to Googles success is payment enough. That being said I would have loved a pin and a post card too. I’m Reilly looking forward to reaching level 7 though. I hope you get your recognition and know that you are appreciated by everyone you help.
