Is it a good idea for me to use PayPal's pay-in-4 system?
This question gets asked about once per day in this sub. On paper, there is no catch to the financing. In reality, you are more incentivized to make the purchase than you would have been otherwise. If you have strong enough purchasing discipline to truly not have the free financing affect your decision, then yes on paper you can come out ahead through interest arbitrage. Many people do not, however, and BNPL can become a way to dig a very deep hole. More on reddit.com

PayPal’s “pay in 4” has seriously saved me many times
Honestly, I don’t know why people are shaming you for this. I think it’s a great option! 0% interest and automatic payments. I was having a conversation with my husband yesterday that I honestly am a fan of these “spread your payment’s out with no fee places” it’s much better than putting it on a credit card. And also you are handling your finances! Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not allowed to make a purchase that’s spread out, just keep managing it, like you are! More on reddit.com

r/personalfinance on Reddit: Is it a good idea for me to use PayPal's pay-in-4 system?
July 21, 2025 -

UPDATE: It seems like this was just no-strings-attached free money, except after a few weeks, I went to use pay in 4 and they tried to charge me. I stopped using it then, but I can definitely see how someone might have developed a habit and could now be stuck in a predatory situation.

Title. PayPal's pay-in-4 system was pushed to me recently, and it seems like a good deal to me--an interest-free, short-term loan over the course of two months. I don't see any gotchas in the fine print (e.g., "it's free now but we'll charge you later"). It seems like I should pay for everything I can through this system--an interest-free loan sounds pretty great. I'm not worried that I'll overspend--I've had a credit card for several years and have not paid a dime of interest on it. Is it a good financial decision for me to use this system?

LPT: PayPal’s “pay in 4” has seriously saved me many times

PayPal’s option to “pay in 4” has got me out of quite a few sticky situations. My credit is not great, but I am approved for every time I “apply” for this option when paying online. I get paid biweekly, so after bills if I do not have the means to make a big purchase (most recent example: four new tires) I can make four even payments over four months that has zero interest and does not affect my credit. (I’m making 4 payments of $240 as opposed to a lump sum of $960).

Highly recommended for anyone with a PayPal account who is struggling to make a necessary purchase.

If there are cons to this, please let me know!! I’ve done so much research and cannot find any negative feedback.

As long as it's zero interest it's not the worst thing. I genuinely hate these companies doing micro loans. As soon as affirm showed a bunch of success, other companies started coming out of the woodwork. My general rule of thumb I tell people is if you don't have the money readily available don't buy it. I've used it once because a credit card I have offered extra points if you utilized it when they started doing it, so you put it on the card and then break the charge out over equal payments at 0% so my thinking was "sweet, free points" but if you're putting day to day charges on it then you still have to make those minimum monthly's on that financed charge and pay off your CC. So it can get risky. I knew a buddy who screwed himself financially because he looked at it as a cheaper way to buy dumb shit. "Oh I don't have $1k right now for this thing, but, I can pay $X a month and be good" and it spiraled out of control. And that's exactly why I despise these things because it allows people to think like that and it can be financially detrimental if you're not smart.
