RESERVING BY CREDIT CARD
Some pricier hotels will require confirmation of a reservation with a credit card. Before
doing so, note that some top-end hotels require a 50% to 100% deposit upfront when
you reserve. This rule is not always clearly communicated.
In most cases advance reservations can be canceled and refunded with enough notice.
Ask the hotel about its cancellation policy before booking. It is often easier to make the
reservation than to unmake it.
Many hotels charge a hefty service fee for credit-card use.
Have the hotel fax or email you a confirmation. Hotels often get overbooked, and if you
don't have a confirmation, you could be out of a room.
