A New Zealand Pizzeria Has a New Payment Option: “Buy Now, Pay . . . When You Die”
The bad thing about those “Buy Now, Pay Later” services is . . . you don’t get THAT much extra time. It’s basically Gen Z’s version of LAYAWAY. But THIS is something I could get behind . . .
A New Zealand-based pizza chain is doing a new spin on Buy Now, Pay Later: “Buy now, pay . . . MUCH later . . . WHEN YOU DIE.”
The place is called Hell Pizza . . . and the promotion is called “AfterLife Pay.” (That’s a play on Afterpay . . . one of the BNPL services.)
It’s not open to EVERYONE. You need to be local: They’re accepting 666 applicants from New Zealand and 666 from Australia. And if you do it, you’re promising that you will write what you owe into your will.
It isn’t 100% serious. Hell Pizza admits it’s a “light-hearted” stunt . . . but they ARE accepting applications, and they ARE giving out delayed-payment pizzas to 666 “winners” in both countries.
Each person will get ONE pizza through “AfterLife Pay,” which is valued at $25.
Hell Pizza claims the agreement you sign to pay after death is “legally binding.” No interest or fees will apply . . . and in the terms and conditions, it says they reserve the right to “enforce the debt owed by the Applicant against their estate upon death . . . or forgive any debt owed to it by the Applicant.”
