High ATM withdrawal limits on Net+ prepaid cards

Today’s post was written by Nicole. She is the Marketing Manager for Consumer Products on our Brand and Group Marketing team.

If you’re like me, you probably don’t give ATM withdrawal limits a second thought, until you need quick access to your cash. I like prepaid cards with high withdrawal limits because having enough pocket money on-hand is good, especially if you’re nowhere near a bank or a cash machine.

No low limits with Net+

When choosing a prepaid card, consider how ATM withdrawal limits compare to withdrawal fees. I’m always cautious of any card company that offers low ATM withdrawal fees because most of the time they also have low withdrawal limits. And that’s not very helpful.

That’s why I’m pleased my Net+ prepaid card offers high ATM withdrawal limits. Just make sure the bank machine you’re using doesn’t have low restrictions. That way you can better access your cash when you need it, in just 1 withdrawal.

Knowledge is more money in your wallet

Do your research, and spend more time enjoying your money and less time at the ATM thanks to high withdrawal limits on a prepaid card like Net+.

Do you have a Net+ prepaid card? Tell us what you think of its high withdrawal limits.

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?

Save money sending money with NETELLER

Today’s post was written by Gary. Before moving into his current role as Business Development Manager, Gary helped to develop NETELLER’s online Money Transfer service as the Marketing Manager for that program.

So a couple of months ago, I wrote a few blog entries about how I’ve already used NETELLER’s online money transfer service to save myself time and money. I talked about using Money Transfer to save myself headaches while sending funds to friends and family overseas.

The problem is, while the convenience of the service is obvious to everyone who reads the blog, it’s less clear how Money Transfer saves you money, unless you know the ins and outs as well as I do.

Stop paying someone else’s rent

I’ll start by talking about the most visible form of Money Transfer – the kiosk. You’ve probably seen Western Union kiosks around the world if you’ve done any traveling. These stand alone locations charge a lot for transfers because both the sending and receiving kiosk agents need to get a cut of the money transfer transaction.

Their customers usually pay higher fees to cover the rent for their kiosk location, as well as wages for staffing the kiosk. The kicker is that this type of money transfer service is less convenient and no safer than many online money transfers.

Stop paying fees you didn’t know you had to pay

The next most visible form of money transfer is bank transfers. The problem with this one is that when sending money between two banks, a sender (and the sender’s bank) has no control over additional hidden fees that the receiving bank might charge the receiver before releasing the funds.

In effect, the amount received will always be less than what the sender expected it to be. With hidden fees, you never know how much of what you send will actually arrive. And that’s a pretty important thing to know.

A better way to send money

In this day and age, the safest, most cost-effective way to send money is to use a service that controls the transfer network from the sender, through to the receiver. NETELLER Money Transfer does just this in over 180 countries with 20 global currencies!

Affordable, transparent fees with NETELLER

Because NETELLER manages the entire transaction from the sender through to the receiver, we only charge you once. The transfer fee is paid by the sender at the outset at a fixed rate of 1 per cent of the transaction up to a maximum of 10 USD (or equivalent).

Keep in mind, the money transfer may also be subject to a currency conversion fee if the sender and receiver use different currencies. NETELLER charges the average daily market exchange rate plus 2.5 per cent for all foreign currency exchange.

Save time, money and headaches with Money Transfer

If you send money to friends and family as often as I do, you don’t need me to tell you that every cent you send in fees could be put to better use. That’s why it’s so important to shop around. Save yourself some effort and take a look at NETELLER Money Transfer today. You’ll like what you see.

Day 4 – NETELLER at Betsson Estoril LIVE

Today’s post was written by Leanne. She is a Marketing Manager and works mainly on the VIP program.

In my first post from Betsson Estoril LIVE I told you about the great people I encountered upon arriving in Portugal, the fabulous Betsson team that helped us out and, of course, the grand Casino Estoril. Now that I’m settled in, let me tell you how things are going.

The main event

LeanneBetssonPic

Registrants began arriving in the afternoon where they were greeted and signed up for VIP accounts. When all was said and done we had welcomed a bunch of new VIPs and members to NETELLER. The main event began at 3:10pm and the hospitality lounge died down immediately as all eyes turned to the tables.

Bittersweet victory

Of course, not everyone can be a winner. As a consolation prize, Miguel got $500 for being first out. I felt horrible for him because he told me that there aren’t a lot of tournaments in Lisbon (and area) so it’s a shame that one of the local players was out so soon. We wish him the best in the future and hope he enjoys his new NETELLER account. Bad tournament luck aside, Miguel was really excited to start using his account and appreciative that he got VIP status for 3 months!

What the players are up to

For those more fortunate at the tables, Betsson hosted a range of activities, including a trip to Lisbon, where the players shopped at their favourite stores and roamed the streets to their hearts content. I hope some of them had a chance to visit venues such as the Castle of Seujorge, Monastery of St. Jeronimos, the Maritime Museum and Monument of Vasio de Gama to catch views of the Tagus River. There’s lots of fun to be had!

Maybe too much fun

As far as the highlight of the night goes, rumour has it that 2 Finnish players went onstage and stapled the program to their tongues while talking to the crowd. Eek! That definitely gave them a good excuse to drink after a stunt like that! The worst part was that we totally missed it!

Who we’ve met so far

We are meeting and greeting members from Iceland, the UK, Germany and a lot from Sweden and Norway. They’re all fantastic and have great senses of humour.

Many of our current members are happy to see us and have stopped by our NETELLER booth to get the most up-to-date information from the source. And the players here are a lot of fun and they’re very enthusiastic about our products.

Stay tuned to hear more about the events at Betsson Estoril LIVE from NETELLER and tell us about your most memorable moments.

A proud NETELLER hero

Today’s post was written by Pamela. She is a Member Sales Representative with NETELLER and loves to cook up a storm.

I am sure by now many of you have noticed me showing up on emails, posters and the website over the last few months. Since my big photo shoot, my face has been used to promote many different promotions, contests and products. I have to say it’s been a blast so far!

An easy decision

When I was asked to be a NETELLER brand hero last October, I was super-excited and I remember that my decision was surprisingly easy. Of course I said yes, although making snap decisions is not something I’m known for. What I’m best known for is making a mean perogy!

A call-to-action

I really enjoy working here and I love being one of the NETELLER heroes but I want to see more of my co-workers on our walls and website sooner rather than later.

And keep in mind that we already have a sports freak in Chris, a rock star in Alan and a black belt in Jen.

What’s your inner hero?

NETELLER arrives at Betsson Estoril LIVE

Today’s post was written by Leanne. She is a Marketing Manager and works mainly on the VIP program.

In my previous post I was revving up for the 10-hour trek to Portugal. But it took close to 16 hours – with a rain-soaked stop in Amsterdam – and I arrived safe and sound.

The people and places

The people I have come in contact with have been great! My taxi ride from Lisbon to Estoril was amazing. I saw a lot of the city even though it zoomed by at 160 km/hr. While my cab driver didn’t speak much English, he had no problem telling me where to visit, what to see and urged me to go to Cascais for a day trip. And I’ve heard the shopping in Lisbon is not to be missed.

Cascais

I made my way to Cascais this morning. I found a market where the people were so nice and patient as I tried very hard to understand what they were saying. But my search for a good bottle of port will require more research over the coming days before I settle on one to bring home.

A room with a view

Estoril2

There are many hotels across the street from the Casino Estoril and mine is one of them! The flashing bright lights called to me and I had to go check things out. The casino is a lot bigger than I had imagined, with lights inside and out and it looks quite classy from every view.

There are multiple places to visit with people and relax over a few drinks. And, this provides a great chance to talk with many of the players before the games begin at 9 tonight. There’s a lot of action here so make sure you don’t miss out on the start of the tournament!

The Betsson team

Upon our arrival, the Betsson team was setting up the welcome party which has a great living room feel that is both intimate and inviting. And the staff have been fantastic! I have no doubt that everything will be perfect when the players arrive.

NETELLER welcomes you

Our welcome party tonight will have a fun kick-off show so don’t miss out. From there the players will start testing their skills at 9 pm and run until 3 am.

We’ll be sitting with Betsson at the registration table to greet everyone before moving to our booth when the tournament gets underway. We’ll be at our booth until Tuesday signing people up, giving out great gifts and entering anyone who joins into a draw for a chance to win $1,000 on Tuesday evening! The funds will be credited into the winner’s account no later than Wednesday.

Come and meet us

My colleague Pavlina and I are really excited to be a part of this event. It’s going to be a busy one and we hope to have many guests visit our table so we can share and explain everything that NETELLER has to offer.

And finally, Estoril is an extremely beautiful place: poker, the ocean and a great crowd – it doesn’t get better than this!

Been to Casino Estoril in Portugal? Played in the Betsson Estoril LIVE tournament before? Tell us all about it – we want to hear it!
