Is it ok to use your CC to book room at the DR over the internet? Thanks everyone your Info is great on this board and quite entertaining.

No problems. Make sure when they email you a confirmation that you keep that with you. Bring the confirm with you when you check-in. If you must cancel, make sure you cancel in time. They have no problems charging you if you don't show up. One other thing I have noticed about using a CC for a room at the Del Rey, they will put a $100 hold on your card WAY in advance of you showing up. Keep that in mind.

Roger That, they place a hold two weeks in advance, for my room March 31st they hit my card last week!

They of course will want to swipe your card upon arrival, which is normal, but only let them swipe it once!! Three years ago when I checked out they said they couldn't find the CC slip and needed to swipe it again. Myself being the trusting sort (you get one chance) let them. Well lo and behold back home when I get my CC bill there are two identical $2400 charges (two weeks with bar tabs and room svc etc.) and of course I called Mastercard. One might think this double whack was in error right? WRONG. The filthy, phucking corksackers fought it!!! It took me three months of faxing and phonecalls with MC but I prevailed. As a result of course they will never get another dime from me other than when I am "hunting" and have a few cervezas etc. " Phuck me once shame on you; phuck me twice shame on me"

That same thing happened to me about four years ago when I stayed at the Holiday Inn. They swiped my card twice, and I was double billed. I
called my credit card company, and they resolved the matter in a couple of weeks.
