  <p>Paul not sure that your fear about getting an upgrade in 18 months results in paying the 19.9% interest. Looks like you get credit for the returned Surface (i.e. the balance of the current loan) and a new 0% loan is taken out.</p><p><br></p><p>The note from the MS store:</p><p>[3] Upgrade subject to device availability and eligibility requirements, including account with Klarna, Inc. in good standing, return of functional device to Microsoft in good condition, and new 24-month payment plan and credit agreement with Klarna Inc.**</p>
