Book a ski chalet using Wigadoo

Olivia wanted to organise the yearly ski trip and stay in a chalet in Chamonix. She needed to pay the deposit, but didn't want to stump up all that cash upfront herself.

Normally it's a real hassle organising the group ski trip, but Wigadoo made it all so easy. I collected the deposit and booked the chalet online.

How it worked

Friends invited -> friends pledge -> money collected -> money spent -> good times!

Olivia found a great chalet in Chamonix that could sleep 8 people. She worked out the deposit for the chalet, flights and transfer would be £235 each.

She filled in a Wigadoo event form, giving a link to the chalet and a breakdown of the costs so that everyone could see what was being proposed. Using the Wigadoo Facebook app. she was able to invite 7 friends, who all pledged to go within a week.

The money went into an online event account which came with its own virtual prepaid MasterCard®. The money was collected and used to book the flights, accommodation and transfer all online.

It all worked out seamlessly, the chalet was great and they all had some great skiing.

What is this online event account?

The account is actually a Prepaid MasterCard® account for transactions made online or over the phone.

What does that mean?

Well, that means we generate an account for your group that comes with a MasterCard® account number (and expiry date and security code) so that you can spend the money instantly online or over the phone. As well as pooling your friends' money into one place, you get the convenience and security of MasterCard® to spend it.

How can I spend the money?

You can simply use your MasterCard® account number to pay for your event online or over the phone. Or, if you'd like to, you can also transfer money to your own bank account.
