| Introducing Uplift: A New Payment Method for Guests on ChoiceHotels.com |
|
|
|
| |
We’re excited to share that guests can now use Uplift, a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payment method, when booking stays through ChoiceHotels.com or the mobile app.*
How does it work?- Eligible guests** will complete Uplift’s loan approval process online. If approved, they can use Uplift to book at any property in the United States and Canada listed on ChoiceHotels.com or the mobile app.
- Uplift is available for non-refundable room rates only, with a minimum purchase of 50 USD and 99 CAD.
- There is no additional process for your hotel: Uplift creates a virtual credit card on behalf of the guest, which is charged the full amount of the stay.
- The virtual credit card is not the guest’s card. It ensures that your property receives the full payment for the stay, even if the guest has not completed their BNPL loan.
- Uplift works with guests directly to complete the BNPL loan through monthly payments without your hotel’s involvement. Loans extend from 3 – 18 months.
How does this benefit my hotel? - Uplift enables customers to book longer trips, even when they don’t have available funds on hand—helping increase your property’s average booking window.***
- The BNPL payment method matches similar offerings available on competitor sites.

*Applies to properties in the United States and Canada.
**Guests in the United States must be 18 years old to use Uplift; guests in Canada must be 19 years old.
***Results will vary for each hotel. |
