Reply #100: It's not all nonsense [View All]

I am sure they are some hotels that will allow you to secure a room with a debit card. There are also hotels that won't accept them to secure a room. Last time I worked in the hotels was about 10 years ago. Everyone I worked at required a credit card regardless of whether you were able to pay the full cost of the room. A lot of that was for identity purposes as the hotels her keep and share logs of problematic guests.

It was also to bill any damages to the room just in case.

Things may be different now with some of em but last I checked in some of the places I used to work the policey is the same. Only one of em that I know of allows Debits and they are always booked.
