Afterpay is not the only buy now pay later option for accommodation bookings. These include:
Using Afterpay for your stay is just the same as a credit card or PayPal. The accommodation is yours from the moment of the booking.
The difference with Afterpay is that fortnightly repayments are automatically taken out of the account, over 8 weeks. Before the scheduled payments are made, a text message is sent as reminder so you can make sure the funds are in your account. So how do you book with Afterpay?
Booking your next stay with Afterpay is no different than if you paid via standard card methods. Expect 4 interest-free fortnightly repayments to be taken out of your account after booking.
Purchasing your stays via Afterpay can take the strain off those more expensive holidays. For example, an overnight stay on a sailing yacht is $835 full price – Afterpay brings that down to $208.75 per fortnight.
Afterpay also brings luxurious Sydney city staycations down from $430 upfront to $107.50 every 2 weeks.

While there's no news yet on whether (or, more accurately, when) Afterpay will start partnering with more hotel chains or 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 3 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.
