“I was an active member of the Bay Area Yelp Elite so we were rewarded pretty well in the beginning. Not monetarily, but through rank and recognition. Yelp does a good job of finding ways to reward people, again not through monetary means, but little perks … At regular Yelp Events, Elites often got first-chance to RSVP and even got in an hour before everyone else. There are specific events just for Yelp Elite that offer free food and drinks and swag.”
