JetBlue Vacations Partners with Flex Pay to Launch Monthly Payment Option

Key Terms

buy now, pay later financial

A payment option that lets a buyer take a purchase immediately and split the cost into a few smaller, scheduled payments instead of paying the full amount up front. For investors, it matters because it can boost sales and customer loyalty for merchants, create fee and interest income for the lender, and introduce credit, default and regulatory risks that can affect revenue and valuation much like a change in a company’s loan book or consumer demand would.

apr financial

Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the yearly cost of borrowing money expressed as a percentage, combining interest and most fees into a single rate so borrowers can compare loans like comparing price tags. For investors, APR matters because it affects how much companies pay to raise capital, influences consumer demand for credit, and helps compare returns or costs across loans, bonds, and financial products — all of which can change profits and valuations.

nmls regulatory

The Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry (NMLS) is a centralized U.S. database and licensing platform that tracks and registers mortgage loan originators, mortgage companies, and certain other financial services firms. Think of it as a driver's-license record for mortgage professionals: it shows licensing status, disciplinary actions and employment history, which investors use to judge whether a lender or originator follows rules, reducing regulatory and reputational risk when valuing or partnering with financial firms.

New offering gives customers more flexibility to plan and pay for vacations over time

DANIA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- JetBlue Vacations (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announced a new partnership with Flex Pay, a Buy Now, Pay Later solution from Upgrade, Inc., to introduce monthly payment options for customers booking flight + hotel vacation packages, giving them more flexibility in how they plan and pay for their trips.

The new payment option allows customers to spread the cost of their vacation over time with simple monthly payments. The option is fully integrated across the JetBlue Vacations flight + hotel mobile and desktop booking flows, as well as the JetBlue Vacations call center, giving their "Helpful Humans" the tools to offer flexible financing to customers booking over the phone.

“JetBlue Vacations continues to focus on making travel easier to plan and more accessible,” said Jamie Perry, President, Paisly, the company that powers JetBlue Vacations. “With monthly payment options through our trusted partner Flex Pay, customers have more flexibility and control in how they book and pay for their trips, helping make more travel options within reach.”

To celebrate the launch, JetBlue Vacations is offering a limited-time 0% APR* promotion on eligible flight + hotel packages, available today through April 23, 2026. The offer applies to bookings with no minimum purchase required, for travel through December 31, 2026.

Customers can choose from flexible payment schedules, allowing them to break up the cost of their trip into more manageable monthly payments. The application process is quick and easy, taking just a few minutes during checkout. Once approved, customers can select the plan that best fits their needs, with no late fees or prepayment penalties.

Throughout the booking experience, customers will see estimated monthly payment amounts as they browse flight and hotel options, helping them understand how different selections may impact the total cost. At checkout, customers can choose to pay in full, pay a deposit, or select this monthly payment option.

Unlike traditional deposit options, which often require a larger balance closer to departure, monthly payment options allow customers to plan ahead and pay over time, making vacations more accessible to more customers.

“We’re excited to partner with JetBlue Vacations to bring Flex Pay to their customers,” said Tom Botts, President, Flex Pay. “With flexible monthly installments, we help partners expand access to travel and give customers more ways to plan and pay for their trips.”
