What the Program Delivers
- Financing embedded in the journey: Customers preview personalized installment options from 6 weeks to 48 months while shopping. This transforms financing into a planning and conversion tool instead of just another payment method at checkout.
- Introductory
0% APR on terms up to 12 months: Available to eligible JetBlue customers with transparent terms before commitment. - TrueBlue® loyalty integration: Customers who book through JetBlue using ClarityPay will continue to earn TrueBlue points on eligible purchases when a valid TrueBlue number is provided. Later this year, JetBlue and ClarityPay expect to introduce additional TrueBlue integrations, including the ability to earn incremental points when booking with ClarityPay.
- White-label and cross-sell capabilities: The platform supports JetBlue's branded customer experience end-to-end through data and AI capabilities — offering integrated upgrades, ancillaries, financial products, and loyalty promotions without inserting a third-party brand into the relationship.
- Embedded credit across flight booking ecosystem: Multi-merchant capabilities extend across JetBlue flights, insurance, and ancillary services, giving customers flexible financing options as they shop within the JetBlue ecosystem.
- Broader underwriting, more access: ClarityPay's full-spectrum credit approach extends financing access across a wider range of customers than traditional pay-later providers. This ensures more JetBlue customers can benefit from flexible payment options.
"We set out to give our customers a best-in-class pay later solution," said Ed Pouthier, Vice President of Loyalty and Personalization, JetBlue. "ClarityPay listened and delivered, tailoring the program to our needs and building a solution that increases value to our customers, grows sales, and expands our loyalty ecosystem."
"JetBlue has one of the most powerful loyalty ecosystems, yet financing has historically lived outside that ecosystem," said Tom Carter, Chief Commercial Officer, ClarityPay. "ClarityPay was built to change that. Together with JetBlue, we are creating loyalty-linked travel financing that gives customers more flexibility while giving airlines greater control over commerce, loyalty, and customer experience."
