New perk: Google Play for Local Guides Level 4+

[SumanDash]

Sound is Good but there is a problem. If anyone already Activate his/her Google Play Music He/She can not Redeem this offer. I already subscribe my google play music that's why this offer not for me.

I'm all for equal treatment. Anybody who has put in the effort should be rewarded on equal terms. Any L4+ guide should receive the three months of free Google Music, including those who already pay for Google Music. Otherwise it's just an ill-disguised promotional offer.

Appreciate your guides!

I've been having trouble redeeming this. I clicked on the link in the email, which brought me to my local guides home page. I clicked on "3 months of Google Play Music" and I got an error that the coupon was already redeemed. When I return to Local Guides home, the Perk button "3 months of Google Play Music" is checked (indicating that the coupon was redeemed) but when I go to Play Music there is no subscription active. When I look at my account, there is no evidence that the coupon was redeemed. My credit card was out of date, but now that I've updated it I am still unable to redeem the perk. I've never subscribed to Play Music before. Anyone else have this issue?

So it's not a system of perks just this one perk. It took me the better part of an hour to learn this. Information announcing a new perk is everywhere, the small detail that it is the only perk is not. Says to me this is not a well thought out set up. The fact it is a perk that some people cannot have and it involves paying money to obtain (in the case of the movie) is proof it isn't well thought out.

I was helping to correct inaccurate information so perks were irrelevant but I'll say right now that they're definitely not an incentive. I am unimpressed with this half assed new scheme.

It's quite empty.  

I originally joined the program because of the drive storage offer.  Something that has actual value.

I never realized you had to manually claim the reward, so I missed it.

I keep declining the free two months of prime music that everyone gets, I'm not going to be excited by offering me 1 extra promotional month (for new users only) as a reward for populating your maps application for you, with original content. 

My photos have 3 million impressions.  This offer is really insulting.

The 3 month "reward" is misleading, as anyone who visits the page gets 2 months free just for existing. 

So really, the level-4 reward is 1 month free.

And there's frequently a 3 month trial available for any new users, so it's barely a reward at all.

I think it's unavailable in Maldives . It was not listed 

Hope we will get benefits near in future 

But will not giveup

Unfortunately, Nigeria is not going to enjoy either of the two perks.

Agree. All just an advertisement. They should allow the rest of us to save the 30 euros/usd just to appreciate our work.
