Local Guides - "Unlocking Benefits"

[MeghaB]

So, below is what "benefits" you can unlock with each level using google contribute. Now, I am on level 4 and have not come across a newsletter, any exclusive contests, early access to info on products etc...I am over 300pts on level 4 and it is beginning to feel like a huge waste of time. Only doing this with the incentive of being included in a google strung community...anyone else notice this?
