Klarna is four payments over eight weeks. That's about the same float as a credit card, which can be up to 60.

I was mistaken in thinking it was longer than that. If it is only about two months then it's of little value over a conventional CC (depending on when you buy it in your statement cycle).

My example with the wings is an extreme/incidental use-case, and I realize that it'd be atypical to unheard of in practice.
