Common Questions About C'Meet It

What is C'Meet It?

C'Meet It is a goal-setting app that uses financial accountability to help you achieve your commitments. You set a meaningful goal, put a small amount of money on the line, and work towards achieving it. If you succeed, you keep your money. If you don't meet your goal, you can settle your commitment through several options including direct payment, charity donation, or social sharing. This creates a powerful incentive structure that significantly increases your chances of success.

How does the commitment system work?

When you create a goal, you choose how much money you want to commit (typically $10-$50). This money is held securely until your goal period ends. You then check in regularly to track your progress. At the end of your goal period, if you've met your commitment, you get your money back. If you haven't met your goal, you can choose how to settle your commitment from several options: pay directly to C'Meet It, donate to a charity of your choice, or share your goal publicly on social media. This system leverages loss aversion psychology - people are naturally more motivated to avoid losing money than to gain it.

What happens if I don't meet my goal?

If you don't meet your goal, you can choose from several settlement options to fulfill your commitment:

  • Settle with C'Meet It: Pay your commitment amount directly to C'Meet It as a simple settlement
  • Donate to Charity: Choose from verified, reputable charities across various causes including education, health, environment, and social justice. We provide donation receipts for tax purposes when applicable
  • Social Sharing: Share your goal and commitment publicly on social media as an alternative form of accountability

This flexibility ensures you can find a settlement method that aligns with your values and preferences, while maintaining the accountability that makes the system effective.

How do I check in on my goals?

C'Meet It makes checking in simple and flexible. You can log your progress daily, weekly, or however frequently your goal requires. The app sends you gentle reminders to help you stay on track. For some goals, you simply mark whether you completed your daily action (like exercising or meditating). For other goals, you might log measurable progress (like steps taken or pages read). The key is consistent, honest self-reporting that helps you build the habit of accountability.

Is my payment information secure?

Absolutely. We take security very seriously and use industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your financial information. We partner with trusted payment processors that are PCI DSS compliant, which means they meet the highest standards for handling credit card information. Your payment details are encrypted and stored securely, and we never store your full credit card information on our servers. All transactions are processed through secure, encrypted connections.

Can I cancel or modify a goal?

Once a goal is active, you cannot cancel it - this is intentional and part of the commitment mechanism. However, you can modify certain aspects of your goal (like adjusting the specific actions or timeline) as long as the core commitment remains the same. For example, if your goal is to exercise 4 times per week, you might change from running to yoga, but you can't reduce it to 2 times per week. This flexibility helps you adapt to changing circumstances while maintaining the integrity of your commitment. If there are extraordinary circumstances, you can contact our support team to discuss options.
