A lot of my friends from the same country as me who are level 5 or so is getting a perk since yesterday of Google One being free for them for six months, but though I am a level 6 contributor for the same I didn't recieve any email of the sort and didn't recieve a single perk this year. Even though I understand that we shouldn't be expecting anything for our work, still I feel it's kind of unfair when others from my same region gets it while some others does not.

Dear local guides and google employees,
I'd like to to ask how the local guides perks is given from Google?
Because I'm level 7 and got nothing, and my friend's s level 2 account got perks from Airy rooms, I also didn't get Tokopedia perks last month, and my friend's account also got it.
actually, perks that I've got some months ago is what motivates me to keep active as local guides. 😅
Can you please explain?

@agungpramudhita Local Guides is a voluntary program with no financial reward. However, once a while, there could be small perks provided to help motivate contributors. Perks are not necessarily tied to an achievement level and sometimes perks are sent selectively to contributors. Sometimes perks could be announced in LG Connect, so stay active here. And sometimes announced through email.
To set/check email notification for perks, contributions, product updates etc, head to https://maps.google.com/localguides/home/settings
There isn't very much else I can say for this, except that if we find value in using Google Maps, we should try to contribute when we can to collectively maintain Maps, and whether we receive a perk or not, should be secondary. Because using Maps which contains contributions from so many others, can be considered a perk in a way.

Hi @StephenAbraham thanks for your reply.
