London theatre trip

Vy was organising her friend Sally's hen weekend and thought Wigadoo might make it easier.

Wigadoo is a great way to take the hassle out of organising a hen weekend - especially when it comes to sorting out who owes what to whom.

Vy, Sally and friends

How it worked

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

Vy used the Wigadoo Vote to help choose the best date for the hen weekend. After that she invited all the people on Sally's list. She was hoping for at least 10 people to sign up and thought it would cost a little under £70 each.

By Friday, 15 girls had signed up and pledged the £70. Over the next few days a few more girls signed up too. In the end there were 20 of them ready to paint the town red!

Vy then collected the money from the girls' cards without needing to go back to them. She collected different amounts from different people because not everyone could make everything that was organised for the day.

After the money was collected it went into an online event account which came with its own virtual prepaid MasterCard®. This meant she could pay for the champagne tasting and the meal in advance, saving her hassle on the day.

It was a great, great day, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. And Wigadoo took so much stress and hassle out of the day that it meant Vy could actually enjoy herself too!

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.
