How to Collect Money for Your Reunion

Planning a reunion involves coordinating with multiple people and managing various expenses. Here's how you can make the collection process seamless:

1. Create a Pitch on Switch

Start by creating a pitch on Switch. A pitch is a virtual group where you can manage and track shared expenses. Set a goal amount for your reunion and invite attendees to join the pitch.

2. Share the Pitch Link

Once you've created the pitch, share the unique pitch link with your reunion attendees. They can pay into the pitch using Apple/Google Pay or their debit/credit cards. The pitch provides complete transparency, allowing everyone to see who has contributed and who hasn't.

3. Utilize the Chat Functionality

Switch's chat functionality allows you to have conversations about shared expenses directly within the platform. Use this feature to discuss specific details, share updates, and ensure everyone is on the same page.

4. Send Reminders and Updates

Don't worry about missing important updates or reminding attendees to contribute. Switch allows you to send SMS text blasts for free, ensuring that everyone stays informed and engaged in the reunion planning process.

5. Track and Manage Expenses

Switch provides downloadable transaction statements and integrates with platforms like QuickBooks and Plaid. This makes it easy to keep track of expenses, manage budgets, and ensure accountability within your reunion group.

6. Use Virtual Debit Cards

Switch generates unique virtual debit cards for each pitch. These cards can be used for online purchases or with Apple/Google Pay. Easily create, delete, and manage cards directly from the Switch app, eliminating the need to pass around physical cards or front money for purchases.

7. Dispose of the Pitch

Once your reunion is over, you can dispose of the pitch on Switch. If you're planning future reunions, you can also choose to reuse the same pitch for convenience.
