Yes. Once you open a Bill Me Later account you will have a credit line, which we call your "buying power".
Once you have completed your first purchase using Bill Me Later, we at WebBank open a Bill Me Later account with buying power equal to the amount of your purchase or $250, which ever is greater. You can now use Bill Me Later to make additional purchases. If those purchases would cause your outstanding balance to go above your buying power, then we will evaluate if you are eligible for more buying power and increase your buying power if you are. This happens seamlessly during the checkout process – you don't need to do anything and it won't slow down your checkout.
On an ongoing basis, your buying power will be either the highest total of balances you have had outstanding on your account at any time or a lower amount of which you have received notice, but will not be less than $250. Here's an example of how this works:
- If your first purchase using Bill Me Later is $150 dollars, your initial buying power will be $250.
- If before you pay your first bill you make another purchase for $300, we will adjust your buying power to $450. (if you are eligible for higher buying power)
- If you then pay off $350 of your first bill, you will have $350 of buying power remaining. If you want to make another purchase using Bill Me Later for more than $350, we will increase your buying power again (if you are eligible for higher buying power).
You can always continue to make additional purchases up to your outstanding buying power, and we will consider increasing your buying power when your purchase goes above it.
