Hey everyone, I levelled up to 5. Am I eligible to get the google local guide socks? By the way, it feels really good to be a local guide and help people better understand places.

Hi @Sohamupasani21 ,
Thanks for reaching out to us and congrats on reaching a new level!
As for the rewards, have in mind that the Local Guides program is a voluntary program and is all about helping each other with our contributions. There are some rewards, given from time to time as a ‘‘thank you’’ from Google for your quality contributions, however, there isn’t a promised reward for participating or reaching a certain level. You can read more about it in this article. I also recommend that you check this discussion where you will find some of the reasons for being a Local Guide.
To maximize your chances of being eligible for a future reward opportunity, continue to add high quality contributions to Google Maps and make sure to update your email preferences.
@Bobiisha Thank You so much.

Hello Congratulations, I’m going to use this hook for a situation of mine, an interesting point is the subject of sock, because until today I couldn’t receive mine and I had already requested reshipment, do I really need to be home to receive it? I’m not sure how the post office works. Could someone help? @Bobiisha
Congratulations @Sohamupasani21 on reaching level 5 - in terms of levels you’re half way through, in terms of points unfortunately not 
If you want to discover new ways of reaching higher levels by making useful contributions, please listen to some episodes of the LetsGuide Podcast, as that contains load of tips, for example in episode 10 or in the or in the brand new episode on adding roads to Google Maps
@Sohamupasani21 congrats my friend! All the best and keep it up!
Hi @gustavohenricar ,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
You should contact your local postal service to ask for that information and check how you can get your reward if you are not home.
