- Select contributors to Google Maps’ Local Guides program have received a free three-month Google Fi Unlimited plan (worth up to $195).
- As has been the case for a few years now, the offer is limited to first-time Google Fi users who port their existing number, vastly restricting eligibility.
- There’s no clear pattern for who gets the perk, though recipients typically have at least level four status in the program.
Google Maps has a long-running Local Guides program that rewards volunteers who contribute photos, reviews, updates, and answers about places to Google Maps. The program was fairly coveted back in the day, with perks that often made people jealous (free Google Drive storage, discounts on Pixels, and even a free Nest Mini!). The rewards aren’t as exciting and frequent anymore, but there’s still a chance to come across a great perk. Case in point, this Reddit user got a free Google Fi plan for the rest of the year.
