FTD now pushing BillMeLater

[bloomz]

Look at the top of their site now...

again - someone tell me why we should only accept credit cards?

If we won't bill them - guess who will??? Yes I know there's some cursory screening involved in it.

But bill them they will.

Yea, but isnt "Bill Me Later" tied to a CC and the payments are broken down by thirds over 3 months?

I don't believe so - I tried to figure it out - they do a credit check on you - then apply a limit as far as I could tell. It does take an application of sorts on the consumers part, but no risk to the merchant.

So I bet they take a nice fat percentage.

It'll be interesting to see if this catches on...like I said elsewhere here, Amazon has just recently bought a minority interest in Bill Me Later...
