    UK budget hotel chain installs digital video-on-demand for 14,000 hotel rooms with CreditCall payment service

    February 28, 2004

    CreditCall, specialist cashless payment solutions provider, today announced a major 10 year agreement to supply NEC UK with payment and telephony services for the NEC Travel And Leisure Interactive Applications (TALIA) system. Installation is now underway for one of the UK&39;s top budget hotel chains and the services will be available in all its 14,000 rooms later this year. Launched at the Hotelympia event in London&39;s ExCel today, the TALIA system provides digital quality movies, TV and broadband internet to hotel guests. CreditCall&39;s pioneering technology means these in-room services can, if required, be provided on a pay-as-you-go basis, avoiding delays at checkout. Guests can simply pay for telephony and movie services using an on-screen instruction page, or by swiping a payment card through the phone.

    CreditCall&39;s payment services integrate with simple card-activated phones, which will be installed in each of the hotel rooms, together with set-top boxes. These will take the digital video signal from a server in a central equipment room in each hotel and convert it to a standard TV signal. TALIA offers guests terrestrial and freeview digital TV, pay-per-view movies and sport. In future, on-screen web browsing will be added together with a high-speed laptop connection.

    CreditCall has in-depth expertise in providing cashless payment for in-room hotel services such as TV and telephony. CreditCall launched its industry leading swipecard telephone in 2000, enabling budget hotels to charge for services which could not be charged to a guest&39;s account, and customers include Travel Inn and Innkeeper&39;s Lodge. The TALIA system, which is the first of its kind to enable pay-as-you-go digital TV, telephony and broadband, will be marketed to the hospitality industry worldwide.

    Nick McGarvey, managing director of CreditCall, said: "We see pay-as-you-go in-room services becoming the preferred system for hotels worldwide. As guests will be able to pay for extras anonymously from their rooms, checking out will only involve the room charge itself, so the process will be much faster. Lengthy queues for checking out will become a thing of the past. It&39;s exciting to be working with NEC on the TALIA system, and we anticipate huge take-up from the hospitality industry in the coming months as we strengthen our position in this market."

    NEC&39;s TALIA system is being launched at Hotelympia, the UK&39;s biggest exhibition for the hospitality industry, which is running from 23rd - 27th February at ExCel in London&39;s Docklands. NEC will be demonstrating the TALIA system on stand H210.

    Makers of Garment Guard Launch New Accessory, Pocksie, to Replace Purses; The Pond Inc. Introduces Temporary Sticky Pocket for Dancing, Traveling&Adventuring

    Irvine, CA June 11, 2009

    Carrying a purse simply isn&39;t an option when a lady wants to bust a move on the dance floor, venture around crowded streets, or attend concerts. Ditching the ID and some form of payment or having someone else carry it always seems to lead only to frustration. Alas, a solution has arrived.

    Pocksie, a temporary pocket, is a new adhesive wonder from the makers of Garment Guard. Here&39;s how it works: one simply peels off a 3.5 x 4" rectangle of 100% super-soft cotton, sticks it to the inside of their clothing, and goes about their business. The wearer&39;s ID, credit card, and a few notes will be secure in a perfectly-sized pocket created by Pocksie and the garment. At the end of the day, just remove the contents, peel off the pocket, and dispose (natural cotton fibers are biodegradable). In the meantime, the wearer won&39;t have to keep track of a wallet or purse.

    Kim Leone Olenicoff, founder of The Pond Inc., came up with the idea for Pocksie at the airport, "I wanted to take some hassle out of traveling, but it turns out everyone has a different reason for a hidden pocket; A few of my friends use it when then they run, others love it in place of a purse for going out dancing. Everyone wanted to test it- over and over!"

    "Pocksie is awesome!" says Annie Beiner, an early tester of the product, "I would always stick my ID in my bra while I was running, but now I have a comfortable temporary pocket to store my ID and credit card for safe keeping. Now I never run without it!"

    Each package comes with 6 Pocksies. Retailing for $9.95, they begin shipping at the end of June. Pocksie will be available at http://www.garmentguard.com and other fine stores that care about clothes.

    For more information, please visit the website.

    About The Pond Inc.:
    Irvine-based, The Pond Inc. is an all-women company that develops, manufactures and markets the Garment Guardline of products. The industry leader for over nine years, Garment Guard is the original disposable underarm shield.

    2. Next, patronize their partners. Airlines use their frequent flyer mile programs as a marketing tool to promote their services. The best part about patronizing their partners is that it gets you that much closer to earning a free ticket. The more partners you patronize, the more free miles you earn. Some airline partners include hotels, car rental agencies, restaurants, mortgage companies, brokerage firms, grocery stores, florists, gas stations, long distance companies, internet service providers and credit card companies. Some credit cards like American Express&194;’s Delta Gold Card offers new card holders as much as 20,000 frequent flyer miles just for getting a credit card. Over 50% of the miles you need for a free ticket to Hawaii. And sometimes these credit card companies&194;’ waiver their annual fee when applicants apply online.

    3. Last, stay informed. Always check the airlines website for new promotions. It is also a good idea to subscribe to their newsletter for the latest frequent flyer promotions. By following theses simple steps, you too can get free airline tickets to Hawaii.

    Undergrads Interested in Studying Abroad Can Now Travel with Byte Sized Information

    TEMPE, AZ December 21, 2006

    Cultural Experiences Abroad (CEA), an Arizona-based organization offering comprehensive study overseas programs for college students, is proud to announce its latest release - Study Abroad Podcasts. Undergraduate students interested in studying abroad can now take "byte" sized information with them as they head out to class, wait for the bus, or stand in line at the registrar&39;s office.

    As international study abroad continues to increase in popularity, CEA is in the forefront of technology within the international education field. "We were among the first study abroad providers to offer an online application, to give students access to a personalized online account, to make payments available online by credit card and e-check, to launch live chat on our website and now we&39;re the first to offer podcasting so students can listen to important or fun information &39;on the go&39; instead of having to sit at their computer and read through a lot of text," says Tim Boubek, Director of Student Services Administration.

    CEA has released 11 podcasts, and says there are many more in the works. Students who have an RSS capable browser, can subscribe to the RSS feed at the bottom of the podcasts page to be notified when new episodes are posted, but for now, users can hear first-hand from the Campus Directors in Barcelona, Seville, Paris and St. Petersburg, get information about CEA&39;s insurance, and learn about course approval and credit transfer

    As CEA focuses on helping to increase awareness about the need for globalization among US students, the organization has committed to growing its list of programs and opportunities for college students. "But all of the locations and programs in the world really become irrelevant unless the benefits are exposed to students in a format that is meaningful to them. We want to reach students in a way that will resonate as they make hard decisions about their education; for now podcasting seems to be a key medium," Boubek says.

    For students interested in studying abroad, contact CEA via telephone, email or online chat or visit their website at GoWithCEA.com for more information. CEA is now enrolling students for programs during the summer, fall and year of 2007.

    About CEA

    CEA - Cultural Experiences Abroad - provides study abroad programs in the UK, Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Australia and Latin America. CEA overseas study programs provide higher education programs abroad for college students from the United States and Canada.

    Students are able to study a variety of subject areas instructed in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Polish, Czech and Hungarian.

    Pingo Offers Customers Free Calling To China And Vietnam During Chinese New Year Celebration

    Burlington, MA February 12, 2007

    Pingo&174;, the online prepaid calling card of iBasis (NASDAQ: IBAS), today announced free calls to China and Vietnam from February 18 through March 4, 2007 to celebrate the Lunar New Year Festival season.

    “Pingo can help families that are separated by many miles to stay close throughout the year by enabling them to call more often and talk longer,said Ofer Gneezy, president and CEO of iBasis. “Because of the efficiency of our network and our buying power as a leading wholesale carrier we’re able to offer this special incentive to encourage those with family in China or Vietnam to join them for the holidays, at least over the phone, and then continue saving with Pingo.

Customers using Pingo’s toll-free access, which is available in 35 countries (including the U.S.), or calling mobile phones in China and Vietnam will incur a nominal surcharge.

Consumers can reach the Pingo platform and save on calls from 35 countries, view rates in more than 38 currencies, and make payments in four currencies. Pingo’s voice prompts are in five languages (English, Spanish, French, Chinese and Portuguese). Pingo online calling card also provides easy-to-use features such as PINpassPIN-less dialing, on-line call history reporting, and automatic recharging. A Refer-a-Friend program also offers customers a $5 bonus when someone they refer joins the service.

    Pingo users also benefit from the service’s unique RateWatcherfeature, by which iBasis continually seeks opportunities to lower its costs of international termination and pass the savings on to its Pingo international calling card customers. For example, in October of 2006, RateWatcher enabled Pingo to reduce calling rates to 125 countries by as much as 30 percent, and in January reduced rates to the Philippines, helping to make Pingo “the last calling card you’ll ever need.

    iBasis, the Global VoIP company is one of the world&39;s leading wholesale carriers of international long distance telephone calls. Based on Telegeography projections and iBasiscurrent annual run rate of approximately 12 billion minutes of traffic, the company carries an estimated 20 percent of the world’s international VoIP traffic&185;. Record traffic periods, which regularly occur during major religious and national holidays such as Christmas, New Year’s, MothersDay, Ramadan, Eid, Diwali, and Chinese New Year, demonstrate the scalability of The iBasis Network. Phone traffic over the iBasis network on these holidays typically increases by 30 percent or more over non-holiday traffic.

    Sainsburys Travel Insurance Offers Award Winning Cover

    December 24, 2008

    The Bank&39;s analysis of medical expenses paid on winter sports related insurance claims reveals that they increased by 25% between 2006 and 2007 and by 11% between 2007 and 2008(2).

    In 2008, the average value of a winter sports injury related claim from America and Canada was &163;2,991, the highest received, compared to &163;604 in Bulgaria, for example(2).

    Sam Marrs, Sainsbury&39;s Travel Insurance Manager said: "When travelling abroad in Europe, you need to make sure you have both your EHIC and travel insurance. However, your EHIC will only provide you with access to the same state-provided healthcare as a resident of the country you are visiting so it should not be solely relied upon. You need travel insurance to pay for any private medical treatment or for example to be airlifted from the slopes or repatriated back home. An air ambulance alone can cost up to &163;20,000 in Europe and as much as &163;60,000 in The USA and Canada."

    Sainsbury&39;s Travel Insurance research(2) reveals that the most common travel insurance claim related to winter sport activity is knee ligament injuries (30%) followed by fractured legs (12%) and shoulder injuries (10%).

    Cyveillance Announces Top Tips for Holiday Shopping

    Arlington, VA December 6, 2006

    Cyveillance, the leading provider of online risk monitoring and management solutions, offers consumers the most common Internet security exposures during the holiday shopping season and tips on how to avoid them. A survey shows that 47.1 percent of consumers plan to shop online* for the holidays, and those shoppers must find ways to protect themselves against digital threats that attempt to infect their computers, steal their personal information or otherwise defraud them. Cyveillance outlines some prevalent threats and provides tips to consumers on how to protect their computers, data and personal information and avoid becoming victims of online fraud.

    Risk: Non-secure Web sites. Cyveillance estimates that over 30 percent of e-commerce sites do not properly protect user transactions with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which provides secure Internet transactions.

    TIP: Ideally, consumers should be familiar with the companies they buy from and ensure that they are visiting reputable Web sites. They should look for “HTTPSin their browser’s address bar as well as a digital certificate indicating that their personal information will be encrypted during the transaction. By clicking on the certificate, consumers can determine if the identity of the site matches the information on the certificate.

    Risk: Malware. This is software unknowingly installed on a user’s computer with the intent of stealing personal information or providing remote access to sensitive data.

    TIP: Consumers should make sure they have the latest security updates installed on their computers. They should also be extremely cautious when responding to special offers in spam messages or when visiting unknown Web sites. Free content sites and giveaways are commonly used to lure Internet users to dangerous sites that distribute malware. Avoid clicking on links in any unsolicited email.

  • Risk: Typo-piracy. This can happen when a user makes a typographical error when entering a domain name into a Web browser and is diverted to a different site than intended. Over 10 percent of registered domains redirect users to a different site with a different domain name than the one they intended to visit. Typo-piracy is a highly effective way for predators and fraudsters to divert visitors to their malicious sites.

    TIP: Be careful when typing the name of a site directly into the address bar of a Web browser. If a site looks questionable, re-enter the domain name to double check that it is the intended site.

    Risk: Phishing. This is an attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive or personal information, such as passwords or account numbers, through counterfeit Web sites and emails.

    TIP: Consumers should never respond to email solicitations from unfamiliar entities. Understanding the email policies of companies they do business with is crucial. Most reputable companies will never ask for personal information via email. Phishing scams are no longer limited to online banking and eBay users; new attacks use more tempting offers and sophisticated tricks to lure victims. These threats often include special offers on holiday travel, exceptional deals and pricing on consumer goods, paid surveys, lottery winnings and other tactics. If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

    Risk: Outdated security software. Purchasing and installing security software does not guarantee protection against security threats. As online risks evolve, out-of-date software can make computers vulnerable.

    TIP: Before shopping online, consumers should update their computers with the latest security patches and anti-virus software. These frequent updates offer protection from constantly evolving online threats, and installing the most current versions of security software is a simple form of protection. In addition, many malicious sites may attempt to change a user’s browser settings, such as the homepage or security options, which can lead to unwanted Web sites or malicious content downloads.

    Risk: Public computers. Computers at public libraries or Internet cafes are used by hundreds of people daily. Not knowing which Web sites previous users visited or whether the computer has been infected with malware can put online shoppers at great risk.

    TIP: Using an unfamiliar computer that could be infected with key loggers or other malware puts consumers at risk for credit card fraud or identity theft. In addition to installing anti-virus, spyware, firewall and pop-up blocker software to detect and protect against malicious programs, consumers shopping online should use computers they are familiar with and trust.

    Risk: Gift cards. The National Retail Foundation recently estimated that as many as 70 percent of gift cards offered on eBay were obtained fraudulently.

    TIP: To avoid the possibility of fraud, consumers should purchase gift cards directly from retailersWeb sites rather than through third parties. This way, they will also have complete access to the retailer’s refunds and other return and safety policies that are not available through third parties.

    Risk: Convenience versus safety. Using the same username or password repeatedly can put consumers at risk for personal information and identity theft.

    TIP: Don’t risk security for convenience. Consumers should make a habit of using different usernames and passwords for sites they visit frequently and keep their login information in a secure place. To eliminate the risk of having personal data in unknown databases, consumers should always decline when a Web site offers to remember credit card or other information for future visits. In addition, one time use credit cards can be used for online transactions to greatly reduce the risk of fraud.

    “The best defense is a good offense,said Todd Bransford, vice president of marketing for Cyveillance. “Shoppers need to take the necessary steps to be sure that the convenience of online shopping isn’t costing them their security and privacy in the long run.

    GE Money and PeachDirect Make Luxury Affordable with Consumer Credit Program

    Kettering, OH September 26, 2006

    American consumers are upgrading their technology to high-end electronic merchandise such as big screen televisions, digital cameras, video camcorders and laptop computers. Now, GE Money and PeachDirect have made it easier to make those purchases and other luxury items affordable thanks to a new private label financing program available this month.

    GE Money’s Retail Sales Finance unit today announced an agreement with direct-to-consumer retailer PeachDirect to offer a new consumer credit program called the PD Platinum Card. The new card is now available to consumers nationwide through the company’s Web site at http://www.peachdirect.com.

    PeachDirect, headquartered in Los Angeles, sells name brand consumer electronics and luxury goods such as jewelry, fragrances, and fashion accessories direct to consumers.

    “A strong consumer financing program backed by a trusted financial provider like GE will be a valuable marketing tool for us,said Ron Drori of PeachDirect. “We already provide an easy shopping experience. Offering flexible financing options that are simple and convenient will appeal to our customers.

    Consumers in the United States have shown increasing interest in new electronic technologies, especially flat-screen televisions. According to research by the Consumer Electronics Association, nearly half of all consumers say their next TV purchase will be one of the flat-screen technologies. On average, consumers paid less than $800 for their current primary TV, while flat-screen TVs typically cost $1,000 and up.

    “PeachDirect has an innovative Web site and business model, and the timing for them to introduce a new financing program is very good for their customers,said Paul Schell, Consumer Electronics Industry leader for GE Money’s Retail Sales Finance unit. “There is a great deal of consumer spending in the electronics category. An effective financing program will help PeachDirect turn that interest into sales growth.
