Hotel reservation with credit card
[QUOTE=Tratnguyen1; 1235299]Gents,
I sent an e-mail to Classic hotel regarding reservation and they reply No credit card accepted for reservation, only payment in advance to their bank. Well, I today economy that is very hard to believe hotel needs cash payment in advance in lieu of Credit cards pay. I Don't want to show up at the door without any reservation. Or maybe Classic hotel does not need reservation to have a room in there. I think Classic hotel has a great mongering site all in one stop shopping.[/QUOTE]Funny reaction from this hotel. Yesterday evening I made an e-mail reservation at another hotel (Ibis Slipi) using Mastercard and within half an hour got a confirmation. Too bad that it is for June, so some time away but I am assured a hotel room for the first week in Jakarta. I will look further when in Indonesia.
Refusing a credit card is pretty unprofessional for a hotel unless yours is from a bank located at the South Pole or something like that.
Regards,
Ko

When I sent an email again to ask for reservation by credit cards deposit and payment, the reply was sure enough Classic hotel will not accept Credit card
For deposit on reservation. Well. This is the first time for me to have this problem to make any reservation in any country USA where I live and many other countries
I visit in Europe, South America, in SEA like Bangkok. They all happy to take down the Credit cards payment deposit when I do the reservation for a room.
I told Classic hotel that my bank is a Big bank in the USA. And their Visa is everywhere on earth. Well, Classic hotel said only cash payment, money transfer
To their bank is accepted! I understand Jakarta is Not Bangkok by any measure and people do thing differently. However, in hotel business, the Credit cards are the Norm for transactions theses days. In the end, I just need to choose another hotel who does like credit cards to take my reservation in Jakarta mongering site.
