Affirm recently teamed up with Vrbo to offer a flexible way to book vacation homes. To celebrate this new way to pay, Affirm and Vrbo are giving one lucky winner a $5,000 credit towards a Vrbo property to book the vacation of their dreams. The giveaway runs from April 5 through April 9, and Affirm and Vrbo are working with popular influencers like Team 2 Moms to spread the word to more travelers. Rules and details to enter can be found here.

By selecting Affirm at checkout, approved Vrbo customers can split the total cost of any booking  over $50 into monthly payments. With Affirm, travelers see the total cost of their booking upfront and will never pay any late or hidden fees. In addition, eligible travelers can book select Vrbo properties now, and pay later with 0% APR until April 11. 

“Families are already eagerly planning vacations - we’ve seen demand for Vrbo vacation homes spike since the beginning of the year. Teaming up  with Affirm helps us give families the flexibility to split the cost of booking a Vrbo in installments so they can book the perfect property now and pay later,” said Mike Sutter, Vice President of Product Management at Vrbo. 

“Consumers intend to spend more on travel this year, and they’ve gotten used to flexible booking options for all kinds of trips,” said Greg Fisher, Affirm’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Teaming up with Vrbo gives more travelers a transparent way to pay over time for vacation rentals on a budget-friendly schedule, and through this giveaway, we’re helping unlock once-in-a-lifetime vacation opportunities for more people.”

Affirm is currently available on select Vrbo properties, identified by a badge with the Affirm logo on the property page and during checkout. When looking for Vrbo vacation homes that offer Affirm, families can use the new Affirm search filter to narrow down their options or visit this search page. 

Vrbo joins over 7,900 Affirm retail partners, including Expedia, Delta Vacations, Outdoorsy, and more. Offering Affirm at checkout can help merchants increase conversion, average order value, and customer repurchase rates. In 2019, merchants using Affirm reported 85% higher average order values when compared to other payment methods, and in 2020 nearly 67% of purchases were from repeat Affirm users.
