Uplift, a premier Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) solution catering to the global travel industry, has unveiled a groundbreaking partnership with Club Med, the trailblazer of the all-inclusive vacation concept. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the booking experience for Club Med guests by offering them the flexibility to spread the cost of their reservations over time. The introduction of this innovative payment solution allows customers to enjoy the benefits of securing an all-inclusive vacation while conveniently managing their expenses through easily affordable monthly installments.
Carolyne Doyon, the President & CEO of Club Med North America and the Caribbean, shared her excitement about the collaboration, stating, “Our collaboration with Uplift amplifies the Club Med experience, allowing guests to carefully design and plan their dream vacations. This partnership offers added convenience, empowering our guests to decide the timing and method of payment for their extraordinary trips.” Emphasizing the importance of this feature for guests who frequently plan their vacations well ahead, she underscored that the flexibility to spread the cost over time would play a pivotal role in their thoughtful planning process.
Uplift has established partnerships with more than 350 leading airlines, cruise lines, resorts, and other major travel providers globally, facilitating meaningful purchases for consumers and enabling them to fulfill their travel aspirations. Tom Botts, Chief Commercial Officer at Uplift, expressed excitement about welcoming Club Med into the Uplift hospitality family, affirming that the collaboration would provide guests the flexibility to book vacations across nearly 70 all-inclusive Club Med resorts worldwide through convenient monthly installments.
Club Med patrons now have the option to leverage Uplift’s pay-over-time monthly installments instead of making a full payment at the time of booking. The transparent process allows customers to view the total cost of their trip upfront, alongside the monthly payment amount. With a choice ranging from three months to 24 monthly installments, customers have the flexibility to tailor their payment plans according to their preferences.
An attractive aspect of this partnership is the absence of Uplift fees, including late fees or prepayment penalties. Importantly, travelers can embark on their planned adventures before completing their payments, offering a seamless and stress-free experience. This collaboration aims to redefine the payment landscape within the travel industry, making dream vacations more accessible and affordable for a broader audience.
