Accor Rolling Out Klarna Payment Method In Europe

Accor has decided to offer a new payment method for stays in select countries and hotels in Europe.

There will be a Klarna payment option with select bookings, and ALL members can quickly check if they qualify.

You can access Accor’s Klarna page for the UK here and Germany, Austria & Benelux here.

Note that this payment option is NOT available at all hotels. It appears that hotels need to opt-in and accept to pay a higher fee than to accept credit cards.

Conclusion

There are quite a few Klarna’s that offer interest-free payments when you purchase from select merchants. The merchant pays the interest and credit risk fee in the form of a discount (usually 3% to 6%).

I could not see what the terms are with these Klarna payments with Accor, but I assume that they don’t apply for the lowest rates available, and in essence, you may end up paying more than you should.

Also, I don’t believe that it is a good idea to use installment payments if you don’t have financial resources to pay for, in this instance, a stay in the first place.
