Affirm travel websites
Craving a vacation? You can use Affirm to fund accommodation, transportation, package deals and more when you book through:
- Expedia
- CheapAir
- CheapOair
- OneTravel
- Orbitz
Keep in mind that Affirm isn’t the only way to book a getaway without paying in full upfront. Some airlines, such as Hawaiian Airlines, Qatar Airways, United Airlines, KLM and more will let you reserve a seat or book a ticket at no charge — or for a small fee — if you commit to paying in full later on. And most hotels will give you the option of paying upon arrival, rather than online.
However, always read the fine print to be aware of any interest or penalty fees that might apply, and make sure you have a plan for clearing your balance down the road.
Alternatives to Affirm financing
The best alternative to Affirm financing is the method Affirm was meant to substitute in the first place: credit cards. Making an online purchase with a credit card is ideal for a few reasons, including the ability to earn rewards on your online purchases. But importantly, credit card purchases made online are exceptionally safe and typically protected by card provider policies.
