Introducing the Munzee Credit Card!

Munzee is pleased to announce that applications for the Munzee Green Card are now available. The new Munzee credit line allows you to earn rewards for playing Munzee! You can earn free munzees for purchases each quarter AND earn 5% cash back when you use the Green Card in the Munzee Online Store.

Green Card cardholders will earn a variety of Munzee rewards for on each purchase. Just what are these awards? Well you’ll have to apply to find out! These rewards empower our guests and players with new and exciting ways to save money and expand the game. The Munzee Green Card is the key feature of an elite Munzee player and we want our credit users to feel the prestige and inclusivity that this rewards system has to offer.

For a limited time all Munzee Green Card applicants will also receive an exclusive, hand stitched, green dinner jacket. This Italian blazer not only allows you to hit the city in style, but also lets those around you know you’re part of a higher order. Our very own Munzee Tailor will personally size the jacket to your needs so, much like the Munzee Green Card, it’s a perfect fit.

Applications for the Munzee Green Card are available online at munzee.com/GreenCard. They will also be available at Munzee Marketplace and Munzee Marketplace – Cocoa Beach beginning mid-April.

Mystery Nomads Are on the Map!

When we released the original nomads, it was always our intention to expand the lines of them. Now, we have.

The Mystery Nomad lands on Mystery and Mini Mystery Munzees (physicals only). They bounce with the same frequency as Physical and Virtual Nomads (every 12 hours or when capped). There will be a 50-100 point split between the capper and the host with a minimum of 25 points.

There are now 10 Mystery Nomads out, and they can be seen with other specials at www.munzee.com/specials. We’ve also increased the number of Physical and Virtual Nomads to 10 each. We hope you enjoy these changes. Munzee on!

March Fundraising Information

When we first started discussions about a fundraiser for March, we knew we wanted to push the envelope and make it our biggest yet. We spent the week calculating totals, and we couldn’t be happier or more proud of players worldwide for your generosity. We’re proud to announce that we are prepared to make our largest donation ever!

We’ve briefly mentioned where the money will be donated, but now, we have more information. The following are the three groups we will be donating to. We want to surprise the recipients in person with the donation amounts, so that information will come when the donations are made.

Skylar

We’ve been honored to help Skylar on her journey from Miss Wheelchair Texas to Miss Wheelchair USA and beyond. We will be donating to her which will allow her to continue her work on behalf of the Miss Wheelchair USA program. “Like” her on Facebook to stay up to date with all of her activities.

Muscular Dystrophy Association

Munzee is working with MDA to better the lives of individuals who have been diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. From research for a cure to MDA Summer Camp, the Muscular Dystrophy Association impacts hundreds of thousands of lives every year. Along with potentially partnering with MDA on other projects, we will be donating to them on behalf of Munzee players worldwide.

You can learn more about MDA at their website and watch a video about what they do here.

Motor Neurone Disease Association

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It attacks nerves that control movement, leaving people unable to move, talk, and eventually breathe. There is currently no cure for MND.

The MND Association improves care and support for those with MND, funds and promotes research for an MND cure, and campaigns and raises awareness for people with MND. Munzee’s donation to the MND Association will go towards funding scientists with the goals of studying and developing cures for MND.

You can learn more about MND and the MND Association at their website.

Again, we couldn’t be more proud of everyone who helped raise this money for these causes. We’ll have more information regarding the specific donations very soon. Munzee on!

New Skin Suggestions

We’re looking to update our Urban Camo line of Munzees, and we want your input!

Players in the field know what they want and need to successfully hide Munzees. We want to help grow the game through new skins. These skins can be small like the Shamrock stickers or larger to accommodate new types of Urban Camos. We want to know what you want!

Players who submit chosen designs will be credited with the idea and will receive a pack of these new stickers. (Keep in mind that we already have some new designs in the works already.)

Do you have a suggestion or request for a new skin? Let us know here.

Share Your Munzee Tips and Tricks!

Team Munzee has recently seen players share tips and tricks for Munzee in online groups and at events. Some of us have even learned things we didn’t know! With this in mind, we want to spread the word on some of these tips to help other players, both new and old.

We’re asking you to share your tips/tricks with us as part of a new series of weekly social posts. You can submit them here, and we’ll share some of them on our social media channels every week!

If you’re not already, make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Instagram! Munzee on!

Changes to Mythological Munzees

You may have noticed something different about the Mythological Munzees the past day. This morning, we altered some things, including:

Mythological Munzees can now be capped when being hosted by a munzee you own.
The web and app maps will show Mythological Munzees on your own munzees with the correct icons.
The app will show Mythological Munzees on the map even if you have your owned munzees filtered out.

These changes are only applicable to the Mythological Munzees and the munzees they land on (greenies and Physical Shamrocks). We want to make being able to cap Mythologicals more fair to players in less dense areas. This DOES NOT mean that you can cap your own greenies or Shamrocks when they are not hosting a Mythological Munzee.

This is currently being considered a trial run. We will be monitoring activity to make sure that this change is not being abused. If we discover that it is, we will revert the changes.

So get to capping! We hope you enjoy these changes. Munzee on!
