    The perk must be random. I'm Level 5 and only get 100GB for 6 months.

    lv6 100GB 6 months for me

    Signing up also gives you $7 in Google Play Credit

    • onlinepred on 29/11/2018 - 08:57

      That's worth nearly $25. Was all the effort worth it?

      • [Deactivated] on 01/12/2018 - 07:19

        We do it because we want to help others, and sometimes to vent/show off photos. But mostly the helping others thing :-)

      Thanks for the heads up about the $7 Google Play credit, was on the fence about signing up, but will for the free credit.

    • ylbeethoven on 29/11/2018 - 10:33

      OK. $7 credit only apples if you are first time on Google One…

    • MrFunSocks on 29/11/2018 - 12:41

      I'm Level 6, got the 100GB but didn't get any google play credit.

      EDIT: scratch that, had to login to one.google.com and then there was an offer for it on there!

    Level 5 here. No email unfortunately.

    • Pargain on 29/11/2018 - 07:42

      Level 6 and no email. I do already pay for 100gb so perhaps there is a hidden eligibility check.

      • cart00nist on 29/11/2018 - 07:47

        I don't pay for anything. Never bought apps for more than $0.20 and have used up all the trials. Still no email.

        Also in the email it says "For new users only. Users with existing Google Drive paid storage plans are not eligible for this offer"

          Not so hidden t&C then, couldn't see them cos I didn't get the email. I also only 'pay' using credit from opinion rewards :)

      Hey Google Guides, here's a free recurring debit…

      • MasterScythe on 29/11/2018 - 08:14

        I was thinking that.

        Clever business model.

        "Have 2tb…. Oh you used more than a free x MB we offer? Ok, money please" .

        Its a loss lead product…. For itself!

      From the email:
      You received this message because you're signed up for emails from Local Guides about your program perks.

      So yes, you would've had to opt into spam to have received it.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2018 - 14:43

    Meh, measly 2tb of meaningless photos storage by letting them spying on your everyday whereabouts, and now they can spy on your data. And still have to watch their ads.

      Seems egotistical to think a billion dollar international company would care about your photos and data.

        And you seem incredibly naive about what Google does.

        Really, that is hilarious considering that all Google does is collect data so it can sell your attention so that you lose money.

      • FrugalDealHunter on 29/11/2018 - 18:00

        their whole business model is based around caring about your photos and data…

    • onlinepred on 29/11/2018 - 08:56

      You probably want all the services for free without ads too.

    • 00 on 29/11/2018 - 09:28

      They could provide the services for free and with no spying.

      Then earn revenue honestly by up upselling add-on consumer services and business plans.

      Some other tech companies do that….

        It was one of the offers on the screen displayed after registering. If I hadn't been watching for something I probably would have ignored and missed it! Go back and hunt around - you actually have to accept it as it's not automatic….

    I have a Pixel 2 and get unlimited storage anyway for my photos.
    Any ideas why signing up for this would be any benefit over the already existing storage?

    • darkness on 29/11/2018 - 10:52
      +2

      Google One storage applies to all Google products (Google Drive, GMail, etc) and not just Photos.

      In your case, uploading photos from your Pixel 2 would not consume any Google One storage quota.

      • Chidori on 29/11/2018 - 10:56
        +2

        Great, thanks!
        I doubt I would use any of that other storage.

        Plus, I always sign up for these "free" offers for X months and then forget to unsubscribe and end up paying for a service for years that i never remember I even signed up for. Happened with some Amazon eBook subscription.

        Probably should check my credit card statement more often! :)

    • yolk on 29/11/2018 - 13:42

      Pixel 2 and 3 only gets 2 years of unlimited storage at original size.

      • Chidori on 29/11/2018 - 14:10

        Well, the offer lasts until 2020 according to what I had read.
        They don't remove your photos after that date - but you would probably need to sign up for the storage deal if you want to keep adding to it.

      But them internet points and badges!

      In all seriousness though, I don't mind sharing my reviews and photos of places since I know I've gained my share of benefit from the community provided content. While yes Google isn't the only website to share these, you gotta admit it's the most commonly used. I don't really call it working for Google just as much as I wouldn't call sharing bargains and putting all that effort into formatting as "working for OzBargain."

    what if I cancel
    will I then get the offer ?

    I'm afraid that the system will still recognize your previous membership. I know it's sad because as a level 6 local guide you should have been the priority for any promotions.

    • Taegukgi on 29/11/2018 - 11:59

      That's interesting. I signed up a couple of days ago on the $2 deal to get the $7 back. I then cancelled the subscription and then get this email two days later. Weird.

    You won't be charged until after your free trial ends, and you can cancel at any time. See Terms & Conditions.
    For new users only. Users with existing Google Drive paid storage plans are not eligible for this offer.

    Don't forget to cancel before the trial ended otherwise it will start charging you. More detail info can be found on
    https://one.google.com/offer/localguide

    For those who got the invitation, are you using Android One device ?

    • [Deactivated] on 29/11/2018 - 13:13

      Android One is a completely separate program and has nothing to do with Google One. Google is just retarded at naming things as they always have been.
