ClassyGame Posted March 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Hey all! I'm wanting to use Hotwire to book a South Beach hotel post cruise, but it says on their site that most hotels do not accept debit cards when checking in. I don't have a credit card (and refuse to get one, so that's out of the question), just a Visa debit card. I've never had an issue checking into hotels paid with my debit card before, but I've also never used Hotwire before, so maybe hotels treat bookings through them differently? Has anyone booked a hotel using Hotwire with just a debit card? Did you have any issues at the front desk when checking in? Thanks in advance!

eandj Posted March 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2014 A lot of hotels will not take debit cards. WHen you check in you either give a credit card number as a security OR some might accept a cash payment which they put "on hold" for any purchases (or damages) you put on your hotel bill during your stay. Amount can vary depending on the hotel. Just depends on the hotel and their policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
