As of now I am a level three local guide and few of my friends are on same level but like them I am not receiving any mail of perk .As now they have received a gift of customised socks to be delivered to them but I haven’t received any mail.Why is it so in my case?

@prashik97 Local Guides is a voluntary program with no financial reward. However, once a while, there could be small perks provided to help motivate contributors. Sometimes perks could be announced in LG Connect, so stay active here. And sometimes announced through email.

To set email notification for perks, contributions, product updates etc, head to https://maps.google.com/localguides/home/settings

Regarding the specific perk you are sharing which might be a pair of Local Guides designed socks or some other, and as far as I can gather through what others are sharing publicly, the perk is selectively sent to selective Local Guides in selective countries only through email. Not everyone will receive this perk. Having said that, maybe mails are still being sent out, I don’t know for sure. But in the end, if one doesn’t receive this perk, we just continue to contribute in our free time when we can, so to help the community around us. Maybe in the future we might also selectively receive something. No guarantees though.

Hello @prashik97 ,

Thanks for reaching out!

The Local Guides program is constantly evolving. Perks may be offered from time to time.

To maximise your chances of being eligible for a future perk opportunity, continue to add high quality contributions to Google Maps.

I am sure you will find your answer in @StephenAbraham 's reply, he explained it very well.

I am letting you know that I am moving your post to the how-tos section.

Hi!

I received the message that a perk was send to me after registering my address and the same would be received in 1-3 weeks but approx 4 weeks are done but i have not received any. Neither Do I have any tracking numberas it was sent by ordinary post.

Can I do something to track? or Do I sit and wait for it to arrive???

Thank you

I am facing the same issue…it’s been 2months of recieving the confirmation message for delivery of the perk but I haven’t got anything. I did apply again for the perk but didn’t get any mail from Google. In this way people will get demotivated and will contribute less. Google should look into this matter and make this delivery system less cumbersome for us.
