I went for it. Applied for credit with their PayBoo credit card and waited for a confirmation on the credit.
Made a purchase and then when it posted with Synchrony Bank I paid for the total purchase online as I usually do. The payment posted WITHOUT the sales tax. I am in Connecticut so that is 6.35%.
If its paid before the end of the billing cycle they eat the tax. The purchase amount is posted without sales tax. If you pay after the billing cycle then the sales tax is added. Not sure how it works with monthly payments as an option.
I would recommend that if you apply and set this up, be mindful of the billing cycle so you have enough time to pay. If you mail a check it goes to Florida so you have to be aware of this. For me I payed electronically.
Just mentioning this as sales tax can add up to a hefty amount. I was skeptical of how it worked but after a bit of beginner confusion it went very smoothly.
I think not all states can qualify for this but if you are interested there is a link or two on their B&H homepage to check it out.
Again just FYI.

Nice of you to have B&H possibly eat the tax.
Enough people do that, they'll have to raise prices to compensate.
(Unless they are not yet set up to report the CT sales tax.)

I set it up as soon as it was made available. Approval was almost instantaneous. I live in Washington state where the sales tax approaches 10%. Recently bought another D850 and saved about $286. Just make sure you can pay off whatever the statement balance is otherwise the rate is exorbitant. Thanks B&H. Cheers.

If you care about your state, county and city, pay your darn taxes and quit looking for ways to dodge them. Pays for highways, schools, hospitals, fire, police, facilities you benefit from every day. Pay your share.

Maybe the any kick-back from the interest from other buyers who don't pay it off compensates?

Exactly. Plus as I understand it, the sales tax is still paid to the state as B&H must still charge it, the only difference is it is paid by B&H and not by me, so the state still gets its pound of flesh.

I just love freeloading bleeding heart politicians, NOT! Most of my taxes are wasted on inflated salaries or stupid programs.

If one thinks salaries are where the waste occurs in government, they have never managed a large organization doing real work. Nor have they considered the reality that the entire combined salaries of every member of Congress could be paid in-full for the next 49-years for the $6 billion wasted on a vanity wall that can be cut-thru with a saw from Home Depot .... They've seemingly also have never tried to install a 911 system or design and build a road, any road.
