This would probably only affect the people with the worst credit scores I imagine. I just don't see a ton of 800+ credit score people deciding to spend 5 payments of $20 for a pair of $80 shoes.

Except it's 4 payments of $20. The whole selling point is that they're zero interest. It's CC float without the CC.
