0 Purchases done by installment in the U.S. is specified in the terms of agreement and the amount per payment is pre-calculated for a agreed length of time. Therefore the number of payments is fixed unless one chooses to make extra payments ahead of the payment schedule. That's why "up to 4 payments" sounded odd to me. 0-
