Fanmail for bopo!

We got an email regarding a customers experience using the bopo card. I want to share this, as it made us feel pretty good about the work we are doing:



"I just thought I would let you know that I have finally started to use the BOPO card and it was far easier than I thought it would be.

I had some online purchases to make and decided that I would rather use BOPO than my personal Visa or business Diners cards. I looked on your website for the nearest location to my office which was in Malvern. The website provided an option which was only a few hundred metres away.

I went into the newsagency and said to the cashier that I wanted to put $100 on the card as a starting point and within 30 seconds it was done, I had my receipt and was on my way. I thought I may have needed to try and explain what BOPO was etc etc but didn't need to do any of that.

Within 10 minutes from the time of placing the money on the card, I had made an online transaction and had used the card to secure a reservation at the Hyatt. I used your online facility to view the transaction which confirmed that all had gone through as planned.

I have just spoken to my staff and have encouraged them to get a BOPO card for their personal use. In addition our business will also obtain cards for staff due to the convenience of being able to transfer money between cards and without the credit risk or employee risks associated with our current MasterCard and charge cards.

Thought it might be worth letting you know."

The Best Way to Watch Footy!

Last night we were lucky enough to get to see the Tri Nations Rugby League game between Australia and New Zealand from the St Kilda corporate box at the Telstra Dome. It would have to be one of the best experiences watching footy I've ever had. (bettered only by seeing Wests win the Grand Final during a 4 day Bucks Party - and that could have been better if they were still Magpies!) I don't think we got too rowdy, considering the alcohol was free. The night was made better by Australia winning in a thriller. Not so good for our 2 kiwi brothers, Ian and Peter.

This pics a bit dark, but you get an idea
of what the box was like.
