Why copy the hotel credit card?

How do American hotels collect deposits from their guests? Just copying their credit cards.

This is not just a demonstration. Old-fashioned hotels will use a seal machine to record all the information of credit cards (including bumps), so they can replace the power of attorney as collateral. But its disadvantage is that it can't know the balance on the card, and it will be pressed if it is not skilled in operation, so it is only used in some old hotels in Europe and America ~

At present, the common practice is to brush pre-authorization, that is, cardauthorization, or cardverification, but some Americans still get used to calling it imprint. After brushing, the corresponding amount will be frozen as a deposit, but the money has not been taken away. When checking out, swipe your card again for pre-authorization to complete the authorization, deduct the payable fees from the frozen amount, and unfreeze the balance ~ If you use other cards or cash to settle the bill, the hotel will contact the bank to unfreeze it ~ It's okay if you don't unfreeze it, and it will be unfrozen automatically after 30 days of pre-authorization ~

The hotel asked me for a copy of the front and back of the credit card to pay the deposit. Can I have it?

Never give it, especially the negative CVV2 code, which is equivalent to a password. If you know this, you can pay online.

The hotel deposit does not require the front and back of the credit card, so be careful not to have the card stolen.

Pre-authorization of credit card is required for booking foreign hotels. The hotel requires copies of the front and back of the credit card. Do you need to walk the last three yards?

First of all, this is definitely a lie.

1. You don't need the front and back of the card to complete pre-authorization. You must swipe your card or make an appointment on the platform.

2. The security code is equivalent to the secondary password of the credit card, and the bank customer service has no right to ask for it, only the right to verify when activating and canceling.

It is recommended to book on Ctrip, Feizhu.com and other platforms, or through credit card customer service.
