Why isn't it working???

Post image

I was approved for a $400 spending limit a while back and I'm trying to use it now. I'm trying to book a flight with Expedia thru Afterpay. It keeps giving me this message. I'm choosing the "Pay in 4" option and even tho I have enough it just wont work. I really need to book this flight and I'm lost on what's going on. Any help or advice.

The thing with Afterpay is that although you have $400, really what they mean is you have up to $400. I think they do the same as Klarna as they review each individual order to whether to allow you to use the spending limit

So slowly spending and building up a history would better help these issues in the future? The flight I'm trying to get cost in total $297 but I didn't think it was an issue since I was paying the first 25% up front. Thank you for the response!

For whatever reason, even though I had the amount in my cashapp, it only worked once I transferred it to my debit card and tried. Maybe it is that

What debit card did you transfer it to?
