Hey Team,
I’ve been a contributor since more than 5 years now. And I’ve reached level 7 but unfortunately haven’t received something from local guides as a token of appreciation just like many others do.
Examples like water bottle, Map Pin, etc.

Hi @sanmist91
You got a free app that is wonderfully updated, some virtual badges, and monthly emails with a lot of praise 
If you expect rewards for your efforts then Local Guides isn’t the best place for you. We are all volunteers. We do what we do to help Maps Users and the community. If you get a reward then it’s a bonus, not a right.
There is no pattern, and there’s no fairness in who gets rewards. It is just a marketing gimmick.
My motivation is the joy of knowing that I’m helping a lot of people and businesses. Also, making new friends here on Connect can be considered a great perk. I find it very rewarding being a Local Guide.
Hang in there, keep up the good work, and maybe one day it’ll be your turn.
You can learn more about perks by reading: Questions about Local Guides rewards. Also, Why be a local guide? is worth a read.
And finally, make sure Rewards is selected in your email settings found here. And update the location to show your current location.
Cheers
Morten
