While some hotels let you to book without pre-payment, sometimes to secure that special deal, you'll need to pay up front.
That's where Afterpay comes in. Working like an interest-free short-term loan, it's easy to sign up for and use. As long as you have the funds in your nominated account, they will be deducted automatically on a fortnightly basis over four equal instalments (eight weeks in total).
If you miss a payment, you'll be charged a late fee and your account may be locked.
While there's no news yet on whether (or, more accurately, when) Afterpay will start partnering with more hotel chains or more other dedicated booking sites, we think it's only a matter of time until it happens.
In the meantime you can look to ZipMoney, which is similar to Afterpay and offers three-months interest-free layby on accommodation, as well as Wotif, lastminute.com.au, Expedia and other hotel sites that offer book now, pay later options to secure your room and pay it off later.
Watch this space for more information as it comes in.
