Hotel requests credit card details via email?
Hello
I received a reservation confirmation for a hotel and it also states that I should provide my card number, expiration date and CVC for confirmation and that it will not be charged in advance.
Can someone simply debit money from my account based on this information?
It's a reputable hotel, well-known throughout Austria, but I'm still asking because you never know who might get my data.
This is a normal approach to hotels. Most of the big hotels just want to be paid by credit card. Here they can be sure that the money is really coming.
And yes – it’s so easy. However, unauthorized debits can be countered.
Objection! The credit card details should never be passed on to these wise, including CVC.
From the credit card account Yes.
However, if the hotel is serious, there should be no problems.
I think this is normal.
could be, but that’s how the amount is blocked.
if you don’t have KK, that could be a problem
Yes, everyone who gets this data into their hands could shop on the Internet.
I would not send this data by email. Question about the purpose and whether there are other solutions.
