Our take: Crypto.com Pay, the processor stored for crypto at our checkout, does not list lusd as a payment or refund currency, and we could not confirm a flight can be paid for with it. Its list does include other coins on networks such as Cronos, Solana and Arbitrum One. Laters.com adds no surcharge, and a sent crypto payment cannot be reversed.
What works well
- Laters.com adds no booking fee or surcharge for crypto.
- Crypto.com Pay lists payment on Cronos, Solana and Arbitrum One.
- Processor refund currencies include USDC, BTC, ETH, CRO and TUSD.
What to watch
- lusd is absent from the processor's payment currency list.
- Funds sent on an unsupported network are not refunded.
- A sent crypto payment cannot be reversed.
- Refunds never come back in lusd.
Coin Choice7/10
Crypto.com Pay lists payment on networks including Cronos, Solana and Arbitrum One, and coins such as BTC, ETH and USDC. It does not list lusd, and we could not confirm a flight can be paid for with it. A 7 means a real caveat.
Fees8/10
Laters.com adds no booking fee or surcharge. Any network fee is paid from the traveller's wallet to the network, and the supplied terms give no amount. It is not higher because no fee can be quoted for lusd.
Payment Speed7/10
The supplied terms give no payment window or confirmation time, so the checkout must be read before anything is sent. Crypto.com Pay treats a payment sent after its session ends as late. Held at 7 because no lusd route can be timed.
Refunds7/10
Crypto.com Pay does not list lusd as a refund currency. Its refunds go out in CRO, BTC, ETH, USDC or TUSD, so the coin returned would not be the coin paid. The checkout terms govern the rest.
The editorial take
