Is Uplift worth the bargain on airfare?

I qualified for uplift if I wanted to do monthly payments. Is it worth using especially if you wanted to fly first class/main cabin? I have no problem flying Spirit or Frontier, but I like the free checked bags SW offers. I have a Rapid Rewards # as well.
I’m planning on flying Southwest to Vegas sometime this year. I have comped rooms at MGM properties

Are you asking if it's worth it to finance your airfare at 0% interest to fly to vegas on Southwest, Spirit or Frontier?

Likely Southwest. If I wanted to pay for better seat

Uplift is a way to defer payments and basically finance purchases at 0% interest.
And no, I don't think it's worth it to purchase seats you can't afford now, even at 0% interest.
Now, if you have the cash on hand and the seats are within your budget anyway BUT you're simply taking advantage of the 0% financing so that you hold on to your money longer, thats one thing. But no...you should not overspend your travel budget because they are offering a deferred payment method.
It's still above your budget no matter how it's divided.

Thank you. I’m not going anytime soon. I’m just doing research and asking questions

I dont understand the multiple posts by people taking vacations that can't afford them?
Maybe Im wrong and it's taking advantage of 0 percent like other poster said which I do on my CCs all the time when offered.
Just curious really

I saw that Uplift offered monthly payments on airfare. I thought to myself if I didn’t want to sit in the back of the plane, I could buy first class or main cabin and pay a little extra monthly. I can afford $50-$100 a month or when when I can pay it all at once. It was a thought.
I’m not going anywhere until I pay my CC off anyways, which I have 0% for the first 15 months. I’m getting comped and unbelievable rates at MGM properties and don’t want to let them go to waste.
