Whrrl, Jive Records & Eve Nightclub invite you to check in for a chance to win VIP with the hot new artist, Miguel
If you’re a fan of hip hop, funk and electronica, chances are you’ve heard the hot new track from Bystorm/Jive recording artist Miguel called “All I Want is You” featuring J Cole. Miguel has a sexy, sleek and smooth vibe and is being called out as a captivating singer, songwriter, producer and performer. If you haven’t heard the track, you can listen here.
Miguel is kicking off Labor Day weekend by performing on September 1st at Eva Longoria Parker’s glamorous Eve Nightclub in Las Vegas. If you want to be seen on the strip with celebs like Kim Kardashian, Prince, will.i.am and Eva herself, then Eve Nightclub is the place. And by checking in on Whrrl, you can be seen with Miguel!
That’s right – Miguel is giving four lucky pairs of winners VIP access to watch his performance at Eve Nightclub and meet him afterwards! All you have to do is check in on Whrrl at Eve Nightclub on September 1st for a chance to win. Imagine partying the night away VIP style with Miguel – you know what they say about what happens in Vegas…
When you check in, you’ll also become a member of Miguel’s exclusive “All I Want is You” Society on Whrrl. Miguel has added recommendations about the hottest, sexiest places to go in Sin City. You can add your own recs, too, and show Miguel (and your jealous friends at home) that you’re a Vegas insider.
And don’t forget to check in on Whrrl for a chance to win free food, drinks, bottle service, show tickets and more from Vegas’ world-class hotels, restaurants and brands. To learn more, click here.
Are you in?
Vegas, baby! Whrrl takes over Sin City with free prizes when you check in!
… and now your business can participate in Society Rewards, too!
If you’re anything like me, then you know getting off that plane in Las Vegas means you’re already taking a gamble. Between the world-class hotels & resorts, entertainment, fine dining and nightlife, you know it’s going to be an adventure. I always struggle with where to go and what to do because it’s simply overwhelming!
What if I said you could check in on Whrrl and not only find the hottest recommendations things to do in Vegas delivered right to your phone – but also that you could win *before* you hit the casino floor?
It’s true! Whrrl expanded its Society Rewards Program and partnered with the top hotels, resorts, restaurant, entertainment and nightlife in Vegas to offer you super cool, free stuff when you check in. It’s that simple. What will I win, you ask?
- Cirque du Soleil: Free tickets to Mystère or tickets starting at $50 for six of their popular Las Vegas productions.
- The Mirage Hotel and Casino: Complimentary Red Bull and vodka cocktails at the Race and Sports Book Bar or Onda Wine Lounge for 250 lucky winners.
- Luxor: Complimentary appetizer with the purchase of an entrée at Tacos & Tequila (T&T), a flavorful Mexican restaurant.
- PURE Management Group: Free drinks, meals and bottle service at their popular Vegas restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
- N9NE Group: Free VIP tickets to ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ at Palms Pool on August 14, 2010.
- Sierra Gold: Free cocktails including beer, wine and well drinks.
But that’s not all. Checking into each of these places will immediately grant you membership to their Society. Why does this matter? Because you’ll be able to view and swap recommendations about the hottest things to do in Vegas with other people that have similar interests to you.
For instance, if you recommend to other Cirque du Soleil Society members that Mystere is a show they should not miss, you’ll earn points for that rec. Additionally, you’ll earn points when someone both wants to do your rec, and then actually does it. The more points, the higher you level up in Societies. And the higher you level up in Societies, the better chance you have to WIN!

Three more days until BlogHer10-keep an eye out for Whrrl to win TONS of prizes!
The countdown begins this week for BlogHer 2010 – and I’m more than excited to be joining the masses of bloggers, Tweeters (and soon-to-be Whrrlers, if you’re not already) in New York City!
We have tons of fun things planned for our bloggy friends while in The Big Apple, including giving away more than TWO THOUSAND dollars in prizes! You’ll find Whrrl (and me!) here:
Crazi Beautiful’s I Heart New York Social:
We know this will be many bloggers’ first trip to New York, and you’ll want to hit up all the “must-see” NYC sites – The Met, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum and more. One-hundred lucky ladies attending CraziBeautiful’s I Heart New York Social on Thursday will receive The New York Pass in their swag bags. This pass is the ULTIMATE New York tourist pass – free entry to more than 55 locations across the city and skipping line privileges (it would normally cost you $800 for all the entry fees!)
We’ve created the I Heart New York Society, which includes most of the must-see destinations on the pass. (Psst…if you don’t get a pass or an RSPV to the party, you can still follow along in Whrrl from your mobile phone with the Society, so join now by clicking the link!)
We’ll be giving away more than $2,000 in prizes for checking in on Whrrl at one of the sightseeing places on The New York Pass.
Each time you check in to a place with a prize, you’ll get a chance to win. (Each check in to a prize-holding place within a 24-hour time frame will receive a chance to win.)
Here’s what you’ll get, and where:
- The Empire State Building: One lucky lady will win a Dell Mini Inspiron Netbook ($299), and two gals will win NuSkin’s ageLOC Transformation Package (more than $400 value)

Sex and the City Whrrl Walking Tour through NYC:
I’ll be leading a Sex and the City walking tour through a few spots in NYC that the ladies filmed at, including Carrie’s doorstep and the garden where Steve and Miranda were married. We’ll also stop to taste the infamous Magnolia Cupcakes that Carrie and Miranda love – and I’ll be teaching a Whrrl feature at each stop. If you’re not on the RSVP list, you can add yourself to a waitlist (in case someone cancels last minute) or take the tour yourself by joining the Sex and the City Society on Whrrl!
During the two weeks after BlogHer, we’ll hold a contest for the best Whrrl Society created, and the winner will receive a coveted Kindle from Amazon.com! (Details coming soon, so stay tuned).
If you can’t make either of those events, be sure to look for this person:
I’ll be available on-site at the BlogHer events to tell everyone how they can start their own location-based service through Whrrl Societies, bringing their real-world passions alive for their blog readers, and partnering with brands in a whole new way!
Look for me out and about at the official BlogHer parties, events and the lobby during panels (I’ll also have a cute little gift to give you, if you find me). I won’t be wearing a hot dog hat, but you get the idea.
And don’t forget – you can use Whrrl in NYC as your personal tour guide to the city. We have tons of New York City-based Societies that will help you find the best shopping places, breakfast spots, Latin food and more. And, each place you check in at could have a recommendation of what to order or try! Take recommendations from New York’s Whrrlers of the best places to go and things to do…

What’s better than free Wi-Fi… free gas! We’ve launched a new Society Rewards program!
We’re excited to announce that today we launched Whrrl Society Rewards – a social loyalty program designed to close the gap between a brand’s online social media presence and real-world physical presence. As part of our unveiling of the new program, we teamed up with Murphy USA who will reward their customers who love them through Whrrl Society Rewards. When customers check in with Whrrl at one of Murphy USA’s 1,100 locations nationwide, they will be accepted into the “Murphy USA Society” and earn a chance to immediately win free gas.
We like to think of Whrrl Society Rewards as an entirely new form of a loyalty program. It’s different from traditional loyalty programs in four important ways:
- Whrrl Society Rewards is prize-based. Consumers have an opportunity to win prizes when they check in to participating retail locations and earn additional opportunities to win as they achieve higher levels in Societies – which happens as others act on their recommendations. Because the rewards are prizes of chance, the program can be started and stopped easily and quickly, without the long-term financial liabilities that come with traditional transaction-based loyalty programs.
- Whereas traditional programs, e.g. loyalty “punch cards,” are based solely on transactions, Whrrl’s Society Rewards is based on a person’s ability to inspire friends to try new ideas at real-world places. When a user recommends an idea, they earn points and can level up in a Society. Users receive additional points when others “Want To” try that idea, actually do try the idea or pass on the recommendation to their friends. Users also earn points by getting others to join the Society and by checking in at qualifying locations.
- Retailers and brands can have their own Societies on Whrrl. Societies are passion groups for the real-world, bringing people together to motivate each other to try new things in a vast array of topic areas, including live music, fashion, food, shopping, outdoor activities, “follow in the footsteps” groups and more. Retailers and brands can create their own Whrrl Societies and motivate their customers to join, activating them in the real-world.
- Whrrl Societies are viral. There are many opportunities for Society members to share out to their friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter, from check-ins and recommendations to prize win moments, which organically grows the Society.
We can’t wait to see how this program unfolds! If you’re interested in rewarding your customers with Whrrl Society Rewards for checking in, contact us at merchant-feedback@whrrl.com!

We hate spam too, so we’ve switched e-mail providers!
Thanks to feedback from the Whrrl community, we discovered our third party e-mail company had a breach in security that affected some users’ personal e-mail addresses. We apologize if any of you have received spam at the e-mail address associated with your Whrrl account!
We hate spam too, and would never sell or share your e-mail address. Because e-mail security is important to all of us at Whrrl, we terminated our services with the previous company and switched to a new e-mail company – MailChimp. They have an excellent track record with their Anti-Spam and Privacy Policy, which is monitored by Truste & The Better Business Bureau.
We believe social products are built on trust between the service and its customers, and we look forward to future spam-free communications with our users.
Thanks for your understanding!
