New Account Manager Features

A belated happy new year!

This is just a quick announcement, as an end user, in addition to being able to check your recent sessions using the Account Manager, you can now also check up on the status of a voucher and also see what privileges you have at various hotspots.

When you log into the Account Manager, you will see the links "Hotspot privileges" and "Voucher status" in the panel on the left hand side in the Reports section. This is shown in the image below, look in the bottom left hand corner:


The "Voucher status" functionality gives you the ability to check up on whether a voucher is valid, whether it has been used in any way and what type of voucher it is. We have two types of vouchers, Prepaid WiFi Vouchers with a Rand value, these are ordinarily sold by venues, and also Free WiFi Vouchers that give you an Internet allowance, or privilege, at a specific hotspot.

As hinted above, the "Hotspot privileges" functionality gives you a report on all the allowances you have across the RedButton network. These allowances can only be used at the specific hotspots indicated in the report.

As always, we'd appreciate your feedback, either here or by contacting us.
