Hello Everyone, I am Local Guide at Level 7 and I received an email to claim Local Guides Badge in April. There were two options for badge either you can claim Google Map Pin or Local Guide Guy as a pin, So I claimed Local Guide Guy pin and received it within a month. I am so happy after receiving it as this is my first physical gift from Google Maps as a Local Guide. I had not got the mail to claim socks also in the past and also had some troubles with my Local Guides connect program so it is really motivating to continue contributing to Google Maps and help people around me.
Thank you for your greetings @KeshavRathour@PrasadVR@HASHIM_AK and writing your beautiful thoughts. Wish you all success in guiding everyone, and I hope I will get to meet you people when I visit your different areas.
Hello @AN18@PrasadVR There is no such criteria for receiving rewards from Google Maps. It totally depends on their algorithms and it is random. A Local Guide with level 5 may receive the reward and another with level 10 may not receive it.
Whenever Google Maps wants to reward you, they will send an email which will contain the details of your reward.
Make sure you have set alerts for receiving emails from Google connect by going to settings in Connect platform.
