Affirm is not explicitly mentioned as a payment option. ([bestbuy.com](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/mac/macbook-neo-offers/pcmcat1772635850688.c?id=pcmcat1772635850688&utm_source=openai))  \n- **Amazon, Target, and B&H Photo** \u2014 These retailers sell the MacBook Neo, but whether they support Affirm for a specific item depends on the item eligibility and whether Affirm is enabled at checkout. Always check the payment options at the final checkout page. ([macworld.com](https://www.macworld.com/article/3087157/best-macbook-neo-deals.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udca1 How to Maximize Your Chances of Using Affirm\n\n1. **Use Apple Pay**  \n   If you're buying from Apple or any retailer that accepts Apple Pay, choosing Apple Pay at checkout gives you the option to use Affirm under \u201cPay Later\u201d / \u201cOther Cards & Pay Later Options.\u201d Requires iOS 18+ / iPadOS 18+. ([affirm.com](https://www.affirm.com/wallet/applepay?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Check the Tech Requirements**  \n   - You might need to be running iOS 18 or later to use Affirm via Apple Pay.  \n   - Make sure the retailer accepts Affirm for high-ticket electronics. Sometimes Affirm is disabled for expensive items or certain product categories.\n\n3. **Eligible Purchase Amount**  \n   Affirm and retailers usually have minimum/maximum eligible amounts for financing. Check those terms before getting to checkout. ([walmart.com](https://www.walmart.com/cp/Layaway/1088466?Post=100002490135344&linkId=100000067950722&sourceid=654&utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Verify Before You Click \u201cBuy\u201d**  \n   Confirm that the MacBook Neo you want is in stock and that Affirm is listed at checkout. If not, the item may be ineligible.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your ZIP code (or state) and whether you'd prefer in-store pickup vs. online, I can pull up specific stores near you that support Affirm for the MacBook Neo."
