    How to become eligible for amazon monthly payments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Unfortunately not everyone is eligible for monthly payments, however if you live in the United States and are already a regular Amazon shopper then chances are you can take advantage of payment plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to the monthly payment terms and conditions<\/a>, here are four key requirements you need in order to be eligible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. You must reside in the United States of America.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Your Amazon.com<\/a> account must have been active for at least one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. You must have a valid credit card associated with your Amazon.com account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. You must have a good payment history on Amazon.com. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      What if the Amazon installment option is not showing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If amazon monthly payments is not showing up it could be due to one of the following issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. The item you wish to purchase is not eligible for 5 monthly payments. Amazon frequently change which items are eligible or not. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Your account is not eligible for pay later. Once quick way to check if you are eligible is by logging into Amazon and searching for an Amazon product such as a Kindle or Echo device. These product are most likely to show a pay later option if your account is eligible. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Does Amazon check my credit history? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        No, Amazon does not run a credit check to determine if you are eligible. This is good news as it means your credit score will not be affected regardless if you are eligible or not. Instead of a credit check Amazon checks your purchase history and how long you have been an Amazon.com customer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        When do I have to make monthly payments to Amazon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If you choose to pay by monthly payments, Amazon will split the cost of your purchase into 5 separate payments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Your first payment will be on the shipment date of your product, however be prepared for this to be your purchase date. Your final payment will be 120 days (4 months) after the shipment date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Payment<\/strong><\/th>Due Date<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
        1st Payment (initial payment)<\/td>Shipment Date<\/td><\/tr>
        2nd Payment<\/td>30 Days from the Shipment Date<\/td><\/tr>

        5th Payment <\/td>120 Days from the Shipment Date<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

        Does Amazon charge interest for split payments?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        No<\/strong>. Amazon makes it clear in their terms and conditions that they do not charge interest or fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What to do if you are not eligible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If you have checked your eligibility and got the following message “at this time, your account is not eligible for monthly payments” then you are currently not eligible. We recommend you make some small purchases with Amazon and build up purchase history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend reaching out to Amazon support where they can review your account. In some cases Amazon will change your account status to allow monthly instalments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
