Credit Card "Guaranty" vs. "actual charge&quo |
|
|
First time this has happened.
I live in the U.S. I just booked a hotel in Amsterdam for next year. On the hotel's confirmation letter to me, they said that "this was not a payment, just a guarantee, and that I pay at time of arrival." [BTW, this is a 4-star hotel.]
As I checked my B of A Visa online today, I note there is a "pending" charge of what it seems 1 night's stay at this hotel. Other hotels in the past that required a credit card guarantee have NEVER charged me before arrival.
What does this mean? I know in past experience, that "pending" turns into an actual charge.
Wassup with this?
The hotel is supposedly one of the most reputable ones.
THANK YOU.
