    A Very MOGL Movember

    Tom Selleck had a crime fighting one; Charlie Chaplain had a small one; Burt Reynolds had many. It’s Movember, which means that here at MOGL, upper lips are getting an extra shot of fuzzy manhood!

    In order to raise awareness and funds for mens’ health, specifically prostate cancer, men around the country are growing, trimming and shaping their mustaches in support of the internationally growing tradition of Movember. Ladies can participate too, and you don’t need to look like Frida Khalo, either.  You can show your support for the Mo Bro’s in your life and seek out sponsorship for their growing efforts!

    By simply reaching out to friends and family, your efforts can raise money to support men’s prostate cancer research while the furry billboard on your upper lip raises awareness. As more people become citizens of Movember, more lives will be impacted. Take part in the Moustachery, and join MOGL in an effort to change the face of mens health!

    You can donate to MOGL’s mustache warriors here:  https://www.movember.com/us/donate/your-details/team_id/341036

    If you’d like to find out more about the programs funded by Movember, please visit:  http://us.movember.com/about/

    We’ll keep the hair of the wild growing here at MOGL, so stay tuned!

    MOGL has donated 10,000 meals to families in need… Wait make that 11,000!

    As you may or may not know MOGL has joined the fight against hunger by teaming up with Feeding America in Los Angeles, Orange County and of course San Diego. We were planning to announce that we had surpassed 10,000 meals at the beginning of this week which is an amazing achievement in itself. However, we underestimated the amazing work of all our MOGL users and are happy to announce that MOGL will have given out over 11,000 meals as of November 9, 2011!

    About our Meal for a Meal Program

    In the last few years, the issue of hunger has become increasingly important and food insecurity is a reality in many communities. With our Meal for a Meal donation program, MOGL is able to help families put food on the table all throughout Southern California. 

    Each and every time a MOGL member spends $20 or more at a participating restaurant,  we will donate a meal to someone in need.  MOGL is committed to alleviating hunger by getting meal assistance to those who need it most.

    Wondering what you can do to help?

    Its simple, all you need to do is dine out at any MOGL restaurant!  With purchase of $20 or more, you too will be joining the fight against hunger-relief.

    We are proud to announce that 10,997 Meals have been donated since we have teamed up with Feeding America San Diego.  However, our fight doesn’t end here….  With your help we can reach our goal of 12,500 donated meals by December 1st.

    The more we know about the scope of hunger in our communities, the better equipped we are to face it. If you would like to give more of your money or time, please visit Feeding America San Diego (www.feedingamerica.org).

    New MOGL features rolled!

    We rolled some new features to help make MOGL more enjoyable for you on the web! Here is a quick run down of the highlights:

    A restaurant feed has replaced the old user activity feed-


    This feed will show you the newest restaurants that partner with MOGL. That way you can easily and quickly see who is a new member of the MOGL family. It will show up right on the MOGL homepage and on your MOGL logged in dashboard page.

    New Search Functionality- Search by distance, category, name and location with ease!

    You can now search for restaurants based on a number of different factors. If you’d like to search for a restaurant very close to you house you can do that now by simply adjusting a tab on our new restaurant search page. You can find it just by scrolling to the bottom of the homepage and clicking “See All Restaurants”. You can search by category name and city from this page using the easy to use search dashboard!

    New Weekly Stats email

    We’ve also created a new stats email that you’ll receive on a weekly basis that helps you understand where YOU rank in the MOGL game at your favorite locations. It will give you helpful tips about where to win easy jackpots, where you’re currently ranked and what the new restaurants are around you. Remember this is just a mock-up so the names and amounts are fictitious (for the most part).

    There are some other small changes we’ve made that will hopefully help you find and earn cash-back easier and more efficiently. We hope you like the changes and please let us know what you think!
