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!

NETELLER Money Transfer replaces Peer-to-Peer service

Our Peer-to-Peer service ends February 15. But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to send money to your friends and relatives worldwide with NETELLER Money Transfer.

Plus, to help ease the transition we are extending our introductory Money Transfer pricing until April 14. Send money to your family and friends for just a 1% fee, up to a maximum of 10 USD. Take  advantage of this opportunity now, because come April 15, the fee will be 1.9% with no maximum.

4 advantages of using NETELLER’s Money Transfer service

  1. Earn rewards: 10 NETPoints for every 1 USD (or equivalent) you send to family or friends with Money Transfer.
  2. Increased flexibility: send money to members and non-members.
  3. Recipient no longer pays: the sender pays the transfer fee so the recipient doesn’t have additional costs.
  4. Instant transfers: member-to-member money transfers are now instantly received and accepted.

Have you used our Money Transfer service? If so, tell us what you think of it.

Net+ prepaid cards have a great first year

I can’t believe that our Net+ Chip & PIN and virtual prepaid cards recently celebrated their first birthday. These cards have won international acclaim including being voted the “Best New Prepaid Card Product Launch” at the prestigious Cards & Payments Europe 2009 Awards last June.

Accolades aside, everything we have done with Net+ is to give you the best prepaid cards program around.

Here are 7 reasons why you can be proud to have a Net+ card

  1. Your privacy and security is always protected from hackers who want to steal your identity or view your personal details.
  2. With no non-usage or application fees, you can use your card as much or as little as you want. Plus, there are no point-of-sale (POS) fees.
  3. You get rewards every time you use your card. If you haven’t done so, check out the NETPoints program to learn more.
  4. Since you only have access to the money that is in your eWallet, it helps to control your spending. And it’s convenient because the cards don’t need to be pre-loaded, they just automatically pull the funds from your eWallet.
  5. Our VIP members are rewarded with some of the lowest foreign exchange fees around.
  6. You can access your money more often with some of the highest ATM withdrawal limits in the biz.
  7. Net+ is the only card on the market to offer 2 versions: Chip & PIN and virtual.

So thank you for helping to make the Net+ prepaid cards some of the premier players on the market.

If you’d like more background on the first year of our Net+ prepaid cards, check out this press release.

Tell us your suggestions about how to enhance the Net+ cards.

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!
