🎯 Getting Started
What is FlexPay (Uplift)? +
FlexPay, formerly known as Uplift, is a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) financing service specifically designed for travel purchases. It allows you to book flights, hotels, cruises, vacation packages, and other travel experiences today while spreading the cost over manageable monthly payments ranging from 3 to 24 months.
Key Features: 0-36% APR based on creditworthiness, no hidden fees, no late fees, no prepayment penalties, and partnerships with 300+ major travel brands.
How do I apply for FlexPay? +
Applying is simple and takes just 2-3 minutes:

Who is eligible for FlexPay financing? +
To qualify for FlexPay, you must meet these basic requirements:
  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
  • Have a valid Social Security Number
  • Have an active U.S. checking account
  • Have a steady source of income
  • Have a valid email address and phone number
While there's no strict minimum credit score, having fair to good credit (580+) improves your chances of approval and may qualify you for better rates including 0% APR offers.
How long does the approval process take? +
Most applications receive an instant decision within 10-30 seconds. In some cases, additional verification may be required, which can take up to 24 hours. You'll be notified via email if further review is needed.
What information do I need to apply? +
Have these items ready before you start:
  • Full legal name and date of birth
  • Current residential address
  • Social Security Number
  • Valid email address and phone number
  • Employment information (employer name, income)
  • Bank account details (routing and account numbers)
πŸ’³ Payments & Rates
What are the interest rates (APR)? +
FlexPay offers APRs ranging from 0% to 36% based on your creditworthiness. Qualified customers with excellent credit may receive promotional 0% APR offers. Your specific rate will be disclosed before you accept the loan.
Good News: You'll see your exact APR and monthly payment amount before committing, so there are no surprises!
Are there any fees? +
FlexPay prides itself on transparency with NO hidden fees:
  • βœ… No application fees
  • βœ… No late fees
  • βœ… No prepayment penalties
  • βœ… No annual fees
  • βœ… No origination fees
The only cost is the interest (if applicable) based on your APR. The total amount you'll pay is clearly shown before you accept the loan.
What are the payment terms? +
FlexPay offers flexible payment terms from 3 to 24 months, depending on your purchase amount and creditworthiness. Monthly payments are typically a minimum of $25. You choose the term that works best for your budget when you apply.
Note: Longer terms mean lower monthly payments but potentially more total interest. Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but less interest overall.
When is my first payment due? +
Your first payment is typically due 30 days after booking. The exact due date will be specified in your loan agreement and confirmation email. We recommend setting up automatic payments to ensure you never miss a due date.
Can I pay off my loan early? +
Yes, absolutely! You can pay off your FlexPay loan early at any time with no prepayment penalties. This can help you save on interest charges. Simply log into your account and make an additional payment toward your principal balance.
Early payoff can reduce the total interest you pay, especially if you have a standard APR rather than 0% promotional financing.
How much can I finance? +
Loan amounts vary based on your creditworthiness and the travel purchase. FlexPay can typically finance purchases from a few hundred dollars up to $25,000 or more for qualified applicants. Your approved amount will be disclosed during the application process.
What happens if I miss a payment? +
While FlexPay charges no late fees, missing payments can:
  • Negatively impact your credit score
  • Result in collection efforts
  • Affect your ability to use FlexPay in the future
  • Lead to loan default if payments are significantly overdue
Best Practice: Set up automatic payments to avoid missed payments. Contact FlexPay immediately if you're having trouble making paymentsβ€”they may be able to help.
πŸ“Š Credit & Approval
Will applying affect my credit score? +
The initial application uses a soft credit check which does NOT impact your credit score. You can check your eligibility and rates without any effect on your credit.
Important: Only when you accept the loan offer and complete your booking will a hard inquiry be made, which may have a minor temporary effect on your credit score (typically 5-10 points that recovers within a few months).
What credit score do I need? +
FlexPay doesn't disclose a specific minimum credit score requirement. However:
  • Fair credit (580-669): May qualify with higher APR
  • Good credit (670-739): Better approval odds, moderate APR
  • Very Good/Excellent (740+): Best rates, may qualify for 0% APR
Even with less-than-perfect credit, you may still qualify. FlexPay considers multiple factors including income and debt-to-income ratio.
What if I don't get approved? +
If you're not approved, you'll receive an explanation via email. Common reasons include:
  • Insufficient credit history
  • High debt-to-income ratio
  • Recent negative marks on credit report
  • Insufficient income
Next Steps: You can reapply after improving your credit, reducing debt, or waiting a few months. You can still book your travel using other payment methods.
Can I have multiple FlexPay loans at once? +
Yes! You can have multiple active FlexPay loans for different trips. However, your total credit limit depends on your creditworthiness, income, and existing debt obligations. Each new application will be evaluated individually.
Will using FlexPay help build my credit? +
Yes, potentially! FlexPay reports payment activity to major credit bureaus. Making consistent, on-time payments can positively impact your credit score over time. However, late or missed payments will negatively affect your credit.
Use FlexPay responsibly and it can be a tool to build or improve your credit history while traveling.

Tip: Check the partner's website at checkout to see if FlexPay is offered as a payment option.
What happens if I need to cancel my trip? +
Important: Your FlexPay loan obligation continues even if you cancel your trip. The loan is between you and FlexPay, separate from your travel booking.
If you cancel:
  • Follow the travel provider's cancellation policy
  • Any refund from the travel provider can be used to pay down/off your loan
  • Contact FlexPay to arrange refund application to your loan
  • You remain responsible for the loan balance
Recommendation: Consider purchasing travel insurance to protect against unexpected cancellations, especially when financing your trip.
Can I change my travel dates after booking? +
Travel changes depend on the travel provider's policies, not FlexPay. Contact your airline, hotel, or travel company directly to modify your reservation. Your FlexPay loan terms remain the same regardless of travel changes. Any fees from the travel provider are your responsibility.
Does FlexPay offer travel insurance? +
Some FlexPay partners may offer optional travel insurance during checkout. This is typically provided by third-party insurance companies. While not required, travel insurance can protect your investment in case of:
  • Trip cancellation or interruption
  • Medical emergencies while traveling
  • Lost or delayed baggage
  • Travel delays
Consider travel insurance especially when financing a significant trip, as your loan payment obligations continue regardless of travel disruptions.

Yes! FlexPay was formerly known as Uplift. The company rebranded but continues to offer the same travel financing services. You may see either name used by different partners, but they refer to the same company and service.
How does FlexPay make money? +

What if I have a dispute with the travel provider? +
