I personally feel that if I put something on my card and we agreed to split it I shouldn’t have to constantly remind you to send me the money afterwards.

Context: I booked an Airbnb 3 months ago, we are in the city, in the Airbnb and they still haven’t paid me. I now have to put you on blast as the only person who hasn’t paid after I pick you up from the airport, book the rental car in my name and helped you find your ticket.

I totally feel you on this. This happens to me often with certain friends. I simply made a decision I won’t front money anymore. They have to pay before I book or we’re not going. I also don’t lend money to said people anymore.

You need to find better friends. Not that this is your fault, OP but if you find that your friends are not as eager to pay you back, they don’t deserve you.
I am very picky about who I call friends and we all have one thing in common, if someone is paying on our behalf, we are the ones following up with them to let us know what we owe them.

Text them to pay you

Just be blunt with them that they need to pay you and if they do not, you’ll assume that they’re no longer a part of the trip and will remove them from the itinerary.

Don’t beat around the bush when it comes to getting the money that you are owed. That’s how funds are lost. Good luck!

Wait, you’re saying you’re on the trip right now? Have you brought it up to them face to face yet? Not aggressively, but just a hey, could pay me your half today?

I always make it clear we are splitting and get them to pay me as I book it. If not then I don’t mind texting them twice if I have to to get paid. But it’s rude on their end

Send your friend group a message that asks them to pay and make sure to specify they’re the last one
