Meet the NETELLER VIP team

Leanne here! I am the Senior Marketing Program Manager of NETELLER’s loyalty and retention programs. My team and I are constantly making updates and changes to VIP program benefits and offers based on VIP activities, requests and suggestions. I joined NETELLER in August 2005 and moved to the Marketing team where I later became the VIP program lead in September 2008. I’ve always had a passion for member loyalty programs and enjoy every moment working with my amazing colleagues and interacting with our VIP members.

When I’m not working I’m learning computer programming, reading endless books on my Kindle, playing Diablo II (can’t WAIT for III to come out… if it ever does) and visiting local markets for the fresh ingredients I like to use in my daily kitchen experiments.
 
I’m really excited to introduce you to some of the great individuals from the team that serves our VIPs 24/7. They are a dedicated and hard working bunch, full of energy and enthusiasm for giving our VIPs top notch service.

Alex

My name is Alex and I provide phone and email support. You will also find me assisting members on our Facebook and Twitter pages. I joined the NETELLER customer support team in 2005, and was an original member of the VIP team when it was formed in 2006. In my spare time, you will find me online playing poker and MMOGs such as World of Warcraft and Starcraft II. I also enjoy playing and watching all varieties of sports. I have been providing service to our VIP members for nearly 4 years, so you can rely on me to promptly assist you with your all inquiries. I hope to assist you in the near future!

Trevor

My name Is Trevor. I come from a small farming community in a Canadian province called Saskatchewan. Twelve years ago I moved to the big city of Calgary, Alberta, which is home to our global contact center. After years of education and experience in Customer Service roles, I accepted a position at NETELLER and have called it home for almost five years.

I get up each day at 4:00 in the morning to head to work and supervise my highly skilled agents, including members of the VIP team. During my down time you will find me researching the web for the latest and newest gadgets, spending time with friends, painting abstract art, and of course playing with my dog.

NETELLER makes me feel modern and with the times. I live vicariously through a great group of individuals that have joined the NETELLER team from many nations, to serve our many amazing members around the world. I love it!

My passion is providing a better experience, digging deep to find solutions, and being a voice for our members. I’m always willing to help out and look forward to assisting you.

Pedram

My name is Pedram! I am a VIP Account Manager at NETELLER. I was born in Teheran, Iran, however I’ve lived most of my life here in Canada. I used to travel a lot, however I have been on a dry spell until recently, when I went to Montreal and Las Vegas. I am planning on going to Ibiza and Sydney. I really want to learn how to surf and I’ve heard the parties are pretty crazy there. If I am not traveling or working, I usually just hang out with friends and I am very active in the nightlife scene. I play a lot of sports, mainly European football (soccer as we call it here in North America). I am currently on 1 men’s rec team and 2 co-ed soccer teams. I believe I am the best striker in the world so if we have any football managers out there looking for a great player do not hesitate to comment on this blog ;) .

I joined NETELLER back in January 2007 as a Contact Center representative. As I grew at the company I decided to join the VIP team. What I really like about the VIP team is that we are very close to each other. We have barbeques at each other’s houses and go out to have a good time. We are a great big happy family. It is never quiet in the VIP department. My role in the VIP team is to deal with emails, phone calls and emails to myvipstatus@neteller.com.

Tanya

My name is Tanya. I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, which I love to call home. I am the graveyard supervisor that manages phone and email support to our VIP members, as well answering inquiries on our Twitter and Facebook pages. I have been with NETELLER for almost 4 ½ years in a customer service agent role, senior agent role and now my supervisor role, all within the Calgary, Alberta Contact Center.

In my spare time I love to swim, shop, watch movies and chat with friends on Facebook. My goal is to help each of our members to the best of my ability and if I do not know the answer I will find the appropriate information and follow up with our members. 

Margaret

My name is Margaret and my co-workers call me an old school agent because I’ve been a VIP agent since 2007. I’m here to answer your calls and emails and to help out in other departments when I can. In my spare time I enjoy reading fashion blogs, trying out different cuisines and listening to house and jazz music. I’d like to be able to create a stronger relationship with each member so don’t hesitate to contact the VIP department if you have any questions or concerns!

Pablo

My name is Pablo. I am from Medellin, Colombia. I’ve been working at NETELLER since 2006 helping members from all over the world through phone calls, emails, and social media (Facebook and Twitter) in Spanish and English. I love playing and watching soccer. My favourite teams are Barcelona from Spain and Deportivo Independiente Medellin from Colombia. I usually work Monday to Friday from 6am to 2pm EST. I look forward to assisting you!

Cash in with NETELLER Showcase bonuses

The other day, Chris was asking me about the NETELLER Showcase site. He had recently upgraded to Extended status and wanted to make sure he was getting the most out of his account. As a NETELLER employee, he’d heard about the Showcase site, but was still kind of hazy on the details.

I told him it was simple: NETELLER Showcase provides our members in over 140 countries with offers and bonuses from their favourite sites. We have built long-term relationships with some of the top global merchants so we can pass exclusive benefits on to NETELLER members. I gave him an idea of how he might cash in on our connections:

The perks

  • Enjoy one-stop shopping for exclusive offers for NETELLER members*
  • Receive real-time notification of Showcase offers through our Twitter feed
  • Check out new offers posted weekly
  • Exclusive offers for retail, forex trading, bingo, poker and casinos
  • Visit the dedicated tournaments page for all NETELLER sponsored freerolls

Because Showcase is constantly being updated with exclusive offers just for NETELLER depositors, I told Chris that he should check it out often. And because I know he’s forgetful, I reminded him that the site’s always easy to find, with links to it in the QuickLinks section of his account and on our blog.

What’s your favourite Showcase perk?

*Offers vary by country.

NETELLER: a year in review

We’re so busy around the NETELLER office that we don’t always take time to reflect on all of our accomplishments. That’s why I’m going to take a moment to go through my personal highlights for 2009. Before I get to that, I just want to say how much I love working with such a dedicated group of people. The pride these guys take in helping all of you get the most from your NETELLER membership is truly inspiring.

I promised you highlights, so here they are:

New services, countries and deposit options

We launched our Money Transfer service to help you send money easily and securely to family and friends wherever they may be. We also tweaked our NETPoints program to give you more opportunities to win seats at great tournaments, earn NETPoints on Net+ transactions and secure online money transfers, as well as give VIPs a chance to earn free deposits. But that wasn’t the only perk we gave our VIPs in 2009 – we rolled out tons of great VIP benefits. And because you asked for it, we also lifted IP blocking for all our members so you can access your account from almost anywhere in the world!

Net+ Chip & PIN and virtual prepaid cards gave you more

Our award-winning Net+ cards gave you the ability to control your spending and the freedom to securely shop online without the worry of your card number being stolen thanks to its one-time generated card numbers — and at 750 EUR, the Chip & PIN cards give you some of the highest ATM withdrawal limits in the biz. And finally, the Net+ ninja has you protected wherever and whenever you use your Net+ cards.

Special offers

2009 was all about cash giveaways and promotions, and the response from you guys was overwhelming. We awarded 6000 EUR to some fantastic players in our Luck or Skill promotion, sent out great offers from top gaming merchants like PKR, Purple Lounge and Full Tilt, and opened up our Showcase to members worldwide so that wherever you live, you can keep up with the latest promos from your favourite sites!

Online community

We know that you guys live your lives online and with an expanded presence on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and the NETELLER blog, we’re meeting you on your turf. For those of you who wanted to come onto our turf, we gave you a chance to literally become the next face of NETELLER with the Be a hero contest.

And it was great to get to know a lot of you rally race car fans thanks to our sponsorship of rally racer Robert Fagg. His blogs really took us into the mind of a rally car co-driver and some of the videos are priceless, like when he hit a tree.

We heard you

It’s easy to forget that the internet is all about making connections. We really pushed ourselves to connect with more of you in 2009. Poker in the Park and Betsson Estoril LIVE gave us a chance to meet many of you face-to-face. One of the best ways to stay connected is through the newsletter that we launched in September to provide you with all you need to know about NETELLER as we move forward.

I am pumped for 2010! Keep an eye out for more tournaments, more giveaways and a lot of great ways to use your NETPoints and so much more!

Holiday shopping with Net+ prepaid cards from NETELLER

With the holiday season fast-approaching, you’ll probably visit your favourite mall or online merchant to find that oh-so perfect gift.  While your search may be fun and successful, it may also come with the stress of finding the perfect hiding spot. That special someone may be a little too curious for their own good. They will stop at nothing to find out what’s in store for them.

Net+ prepaid cards will keep them guessing

The best way to keep your holiday spending under wraps is with a Net+ physical or virtual prepaid card.

Your card transactions are kept private through online statements so there’s no paper trail (for nosey parkers going through credit card statements). Finally, rest easy that your surprise stays that way until the big day!

Reward yourself

Why not give yourself a gift this holiday season? Each time you use your Net+ card you earn NETPoints that you can put towards great rewards!  Plus, just for using your Net+ card in November you’ll earn ballots for the Luck or Skill Giveaway, for a chance to win big money in the weekly prize draws.

When are you starting your holiday shopping?

New NETPoints mean more NETELLER rewards

Today’s post was written by Leanne. She is a Marketing Manager and works mainly on the VIP program. She’s also in charge of the office fish tank.

For as long as I can remember we’ve had the NETPoints program for the NETELLER eWallet. It’s been around for so long that sometimes it’s easy to forget we’re the only eWallet company that offers this type of program.

What’s a NETPoint?

Members earn NETPoints every time they send money to friends, family or their favourite sites. They can use their points to enter draws to win big cash prizes – $4,500 USD worth per month! It’s no wonder many of our members take advantage of the weekly, bi-weekly and monthly giveaways. But not everyone knows it exists! Well, that’s ending now.

We asked members how we could kick the NETPoints program up a notch and got some great feedback. Now we’ve bulked it up with some fantastic benefits and are ready to send it to the masses!

The goods

  • Earn points every time you send money online to your favourite site, to your friends using Money Transfer or when you use your Net+ card
  • Use your points to enter weekly, bi-weekly and monthly draws (up to $4500 awarded monthly!) or use your points to enter tournaments
  • VIPs can use their points for up to 10 free deposits a month!

And there will be more amazing benefits coming soon. Follow us on Twitter for even more chances to win NETPoints and to find out if you are the latest cash giveaway winner.

I can’t wait to see what you think about the revamped NETPoints program. You know where the comments go.
