Dear Google Team,
First of all, thank you for the amazing effort behind the Swag Drops for the Ranger, Champion, and Legend tiers — they genuinely brought excitement and joy to the community. Your thoughtful rewards have created a sense of appreciation and motivation across participants.
However, I write this on behalf of many in the Novice Tier, who felt somewhat left out this time. While everyone celebrated, a large number of novices were silently waiting — especially for the backpack — something that brought them hope and excitement, just like it did last year.
It’s not about the material value — it’s the recognition, the motivation, and the feeling of being included. A simple backpack could have meant the world to many. It could have been the start of someone’s journey, a reminder that every small step matters and is celebrated.
We understand that tiers come with differences. But a gesture — even a familiar one like last year’s bag — would’ve made the Novice tier feel seen, valued, and inspired to climb higher.
Please consider this feedback not as a complaint, but as a heartfelt request from those just stepping into this journey with Google. We’re eager to grow — and a little encouragement can spark a lot more passion.
Hoping you’ll take this into account, maybe even consider a thoughtful surprise for the Novice tier this time.
With respect and gratitude,
Prajwal Kudapane

Any chance you’re giving certification exam vouchers instead of swags, Maam next time?
Novice: 50% off Foundational Exam
Trooper: 50% off Associate Exam
Ranger 100% off Foundational or 50% off Associate Exam
Champion: 100% off Associate Exam
Legend: 100% off Associate or Professional Exam
Because I think Certification matter more than swags. For Google too, having more technical experts & champions for their Cloud service.

No it is already there in last 2 seasons any specific swag is for max of 2 seasons not more than that.
There will be problem in shipping battery related swags to international participants that’s why there is no battery specific swags.

I have a question @yashgoyal365 I have completed 85 points…do I need to do extra point to receive legend swags ???
If you have 85 points then ideally you don’t need more but for safer side make sure you have 1 or 2 extra points
