Will the funds be frozen when I go to the hotel to open a room and swipe my bank card?

If you have paid the room rate when you check in, but you use a debit card or a credit card as a deposit, your deposit amount will be frozen. Generally speaking, if you can't unfreeze on the day of check-out, the hotel will help you inform the bank to unfreeze, but the bank will unfreeze at least one week after check-out, unless you ask the bank to unfreeze immediately, but if it is in China (except Hong Kong and Macao), it will take several days for you to ask the bank to unfreeze. . . If you really want to use a credit card as a deposit and haven't paid the room fee yet, don't pay in cash when you check out. Always use a card with a deposit.

Therefore, I personally suggest that the room rate should be paid when you check in, and the deposit should be in cash, so that you are not afraid of being frozen!

Finally, don't deposit with a debit card. Pre-authorization with a debit card equals consumption, and the money will be deducted immediately. . It's also very troublesome for you to get it back. . .
