How do I update my credit card on booking com?
Show If the campsite allows it, you can pay your balance earlier than the due date via a payment link, available:
If your booking confirmation states that your balance will be taken on a specific date and you want to pay a different amount, you must contact the campsite or holiday park direct. Contact details are provided in your confirmation email. If you have a new card (e.g. a replacement card) from the same bank account used, the payment should still automatically go through on the replacement card. Should the payment from your original card fail on the due date, a payment link is emailed to you. They will be able to cancel the payment and take payment via the new method. Alternative payment methods available for the campsite or park are shown in your confirmation email. Please note that card payment may not always be possible. For bookings that do not state that your balance will be taken on a specific date, your card details are not passed to the campsite or park, and the balance payment process would be unaffected.

My credit card was 'compromised' last month and Capital One sent me a new one. But before that happened I made numerous hotel reservations for travel later this spring and summer using the number on my old card. I'm worried that a hotel might check the cc number sometime between now and when I stay and find that number is no longer good and cancel my reservation. Do hotels typically do that? Obviously I could contact each hotel but there are ten of them so I'd rather not if I don't have to. I did call Capital One and they didn't know, she said I'd have to check with the merchant. Since credit cards are getting 'compromised' all the time these days and cards being replaced I'm thinking other people must have had this issue. Anyone know the answer?

If it makes you feel more secure you should REPLY to all those emails from the hotels which I am assuming you saved somewhere and state that the credit card number has changed.

Inform them that your credit card info used to secure the confirmation has changed. Give them the new confirmation number, and ask them to send you confirmation that all is OK. When I offer credit card info to a hotel in Europe, I send a FAX.

(And she had tried to contact us a week ahead, but we were already traveling abroad with limited email access and missed it--with the phones we have now, we would probably have gotten the notice.) So in the future, should this ever happen to us again (increasingly likely to have cards compromised, we find--be grateful for diligence of CC companies and banks who seem to flag stuff for us pretty reliably), we will definitely give new info to any and every place we'd used old card to reserve anything. Yes, it's a hassle, but less than having your card used for tons of fraud and less than if you get to a place and have no reservation (which I think is pretty likely). Have a great trip, anyway!

Hotels can decide what to do when they preauthorize the card and discover it is no longer valid. They can honor the booking, give you a chance to correct, or cancel and tell you sorry. I think the time is of the essence. It is a snap with reservations made at bookings sites like booking.com. I just had to do this and between booking.com and the starwood sites, I swapped CC info in less than 5 min per hotel.

And, second, transmission is not the risk, it is what happens after it is in the hands of the hotel clerk. That is the risk and it doesn't make any difference if he got it via fax, email, or phone.

Join Date: Jan 2005 Posts: 3,567 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts The hotel will attempt authorization per the cancellation policy. If the cancellation policy is 48 hours before arrival then the hotel will charge the CC then. If the CC bounces you are out of luck and at the mercy of the merchant. I just returned from Florence where I had made hotel reservations using booking.com. The hotel charged my CC as stated and in accordance with their cancellation policy. I had the same situation (Capital One as well). The hotel owner held my reservation because "you are an American and Americans are typically very good about honoring their reservations". Go figure...

Ps : You still have faxes in the US ? long time I haven't seen one... I threw mine away 5 years ago at least.

You can't use it for a new charge, but the old ones work. I don't think I've ever had a hotel do what you are suggesting the problem would be, they either charge it right away or not at all, you charge when you leave. But why not contact the hotel, it doesn't hurt to try, I don't see the downside of contacting them.

fax to a hotel : how can I know that somebody will retrieve it immediately or that it can stay hours for anybody going by to pick it up or copy it ? Ah, if only I could be as intelligent as you are !
Join Date: Nov 2006 Posts: 8,016 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Less intelligent cuts both ways. If you don't understand internet security that is fine. And if YOU want to continue to use a fax, that is fine. Others may not want to but they can make that decision.

IME, no one in France has used or answered a fax for about 5-7 years, but perhaps in Italy they are still common. At any rate, to make things short and sweet and not worry about getting written replies, I just pick up the phone and call when I have an issue like this, whether it's one hotel or 10.

So as in the three (actual - not hypothetical) examples I provided -- the new charges would be denied since the account does not exist! >>they either charge it right away or not at all, you charge when you leave.
Join Date: Oct 2013 Posts: 7,581 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Faxes are disappearing here in Italy as well, but not as fast as elsewhere, because internet penetration is still comparatively low. I've always considered faxes to be inherently insecure. I've seen what used to happen to faxes sent to my husband's studio. They often sat for hours in the fax tray. After the secretary read them, she left them sitting on her desk, sometimes for days. When they were thrown out, they were rarely shredded. The same is true of snail mail, of course. Anything on paper is only as secure as the procedure for handling the document. I prefer to use booking.com for my hotel reservations. If I have to change credit cards, I can change it in just one place. Nothing is 100% secure, but I trust booking.com more than some of the jerry-rigged reservation systems used by some hotel web sites.
