It sounds like they are changing their banks or similar. As a person with a "Payboo card" account, I got an email recently about a transition away from that to a replacement that will also offer the "we pay the sales tax" deal. Apparently it is a significant enough change that the old card will stop working (in mid-January, I think) and we'll have to reapply for the new one.

I tried again to get a PayBoo card, & Synchrony Bank once again denied me, declaring that thy couldn't verify my identity, even though I have both a Sam's Club, & Lowes card with them, they have my address, Email, phone#, Social Security#, & a picture of my Drivers License.!!!
Why can't I apply for the Payboo Card?
The B&H Payboo Credit Card program from Synchrony Bank is being discontinued. We are no longer accepting applications to open new accounts. We will continue to accept the B&H Payboo Card for new B&H purchases through January 17, 2022. B&H customers will receive communications from B&H regarding a new credit card program and existing cardholders will receive communications from Synchrony regarding ongoing account management.
How long can I use my current B&H Payboo Card for B&H purchases?
We will stop accepting the current Payboo Card as payment for new B&H purchases after January 17, 2022.
How do I manage my B&H Payboo Card account after January 17, 2022?
Please continue to manage your current account and pay off any outstanding balances in accordance with the terms and conditions. To manage your account online, visit mysynchrony.com.
Will my B&H Payboo Card account be closed after January 17, 2022?
Synchrony will notify you regarding the status of your account. If you want to close your account, you will need to contact Synchrony at 1-866-396-8254.

I hope B&H chooses a more functional bank.
Same here. I thought maybe it was because I was using a VPN...maybe not.
I got the email. They are changing banks. The new card will offer the "save the tax" option OR the "no interest if paid within XXX months" option. Great idea.
For anyone who has a B&H card and a backorder, here is a response I received from B&H.
All orders placed on or before Jan 17, 2022, including pre-orders or backorders, but are not yet charged will process to your existing account through March 31, 2022. If any orders placed on or before Jan 17 are still outstanding in March, we will contact you regarding available payment options should your item(s) not ship by March 31. Rest assured you will not lose you position on the backorder priority.
