Sock as a perk

Hai guys, this my second time to write on this community, Im level 7 local guide and from Surabaya Indonesia.

Couple days ago, I received sock from Google UK as a perk. Does anyone ever get the same perk? Or anyone get other perk?

My question is:

What is the criteria to someone who get perk? does everyone in level 7 get the same perk?

I truly blind about perk’s rules…

I also attached photo of sock received, thank you so much.

Hello @SilviZennita ,

Congratulation for receiving the perks and we hope you enjoyed it.

This is special edition perk was sent to a limited number of Local Guides who regularly make high-quality contributions to Google Maps.

To maximize chances of being eligible for a future perk opportunity, continue to add high-quality contributions to Google Maps. For more information regarding perks, I recommend you read this article.

In addition to that, I would like to let you know that I am moving your post to the How-tos topic label, because Idea Exchange is a place on Connect for Local Guides to share their feedback and ideas with our team to tell us about a way to improve the Local Guides program.

To learn more about the Idea Exchange, you can read this article How do I use the Idea Exchange?

Hello @suzQ , I once had such a problem, please edit the picture by cropping by just a fraction if using your iOS or Android phone, should you be using your laptop, use the snipping tool to reduce the size and try again.

I hope this works for you as it did for me. Cheerio

Congrats @SilviZennita . I hope you’re happy with the perk. I’ve received several Local Guides perks, mostly vouchers. I have never got the LG sock. Friendly greetings from Bengkulu.

Congrats but unfortunately couple of month ago also order it but didn’t get at my delivery address :frowning:

Hi @AngieYC

I got an email from Google Local Guide stating ‘Your September contributions unlocked a special perk’. The perk I received is a pair of socks. I followed all the instructions, typed in the details and the 16 digit redemption code. It went through but I didn’t get any confirmation mail or any link that they received the details. Is it ok or do I need to get an email confirmation or any kind of acknowledgement mail?

Btw, this is my ever first perk from Google Maps, I’m so excited! Eagerly waiting to receive it and flaunt it where in the local guide logo is printed. It’s so motivating!

Thanks to the Google Local Guide team!

Once again, please let me know if the process went through in a correct manner as I do not want to lose the perk.

Thanks.

Hi @Sarah786 , thanks for reaching out!

I will contact you in private regarding this matter.

Hey there.

I don’t remember getting a confirmation - but (as you can see) I got my sox.

They are fun.

I love freeee stuff…so GOOGLE - keep sending that stuff out.

At my level of contribution - it is hard to get to the next level (I didn’t realize how motivating levels and gifts are).

Got the confirmation mail — it was in the spam mails @suzQ .

Yep, like such goodies from Google.

I got an email from Google inform me about this perk as a local guide. But when I try to redeem the code, suddenly comes pop up which said that there’s some issues about my code or email. I’ve tried more than 10times by different browser but still doesn’t work. I want the socks so bad :(( Anyone can help?
