If you have enough reputation within Google Maps, your edits are applied immediately. I'm a "Local Guide" in my area, and I've made dozens of edits that all went through without question. If you build your rank high enough, they send out gifts occasionally (socks, gift cards, etc.). Granted, you get these small remediations in exchange for lots of free labor building up your rank with contributions.
