Collect Money to Escape the Cold With PayIt2

Let's begin

If you and your friends or family are ready to escape to a warmer clime but you need to figure out the best way to collect money for your trip, PayIt2 can help. Once you’ve tunneled out of the snow drifts, a world of warm weather is at your fingertips — all you need to do is choose where you want to go. Here are some ideas to help you escape from the cold.

Take a Cruise

There’s no better way to get warm than to sun yourself on a white sand beach, and cruise ship ports like Cozumel, Nassau and Puerto Vallarta are especially popular for snowbirds escaping the cold. While wintertime means peak prices for most cruise lines, PayIt2 can help you split the costs among family or friends.

Visit Key West

Love tropical skies but don’t want to leave the country? As the southernmost city in the continental US, Key West is the ultimate American version of a tropical isle, complete with palm trees, winter sports, glamorous bed-and-breakfast retreats and bars where Jimmy Buffet got his start. Under Key West’s beautiful blue skies, the winter temperatures hover around 80, and there’s hardly any rain. When it comes to collecting money online for your Key West vacation, PayIt2 can give you the help you need thanks to its user-friendly, community-fundraising tools.

Head to Sunny Spain, Romantic Italy or Glamorous Greece

You can combine your longing for sun with your dream vacation by heading over to Spain, Italy or Greece. These beautiful locales offer all the cosmopolitan delights of a European vacation with plenty of sun to warm the chill in your bones. PayIt2 can give you the help you need in collecting money online for your European getaway with family or friends and then managing it so everything is covered, from tickets to cabana rentals.

Go California Dreamin’

Southern California is a popular destination for snowbirds in the winter thanks to sunny skies, little or no rain and beautiful white sand beaches. If you’d rather stay closer to home, California offers a great way to get some Continental-style sun without having to deal with passports or changing currency. With PayIt2‘s financial technology, you can itemize and streamline your fund collecting so that everyone will know exactly what they need to contribute to the trip.

If you’re ready for your winter dream vacation, you can schedule a demo to learn more about how PayIt2 can work for you. After you have collected your funds from PayIt2, you’ll be free to seek out sunny skies and balmy breezes wherever you may find them.
