Bonjour,
J’ai actuellement une carte Visa premier (débit) avec option internationale (à la SG). Afin de préparer mon voyage j’aimerais savoir s’il faut que je change pour une carte de crédit (dont je n’ai pas l’utilité en france). Je n’envisage pas de louer de voiture, mais je me demandais si elle était obligatoire pour la caution des hôtels par exemple.
Merci pour vos conseils.
Bien cordialement
Voici ce qu’il est noté dans la FAQ d’un hôtel que j’ai repéré
KIXBY (FAQ | Kixby hotel | Boutique Hotel Midtown NYC)
A valid credit card and matching government-issued photo ID must be presented at check-in. Credit cards will be authorized at check-in for the total room, taxes & fees and $250.00 room deposit. We do not recommend the use of debit or check cards. Pre-loaded cash cards and Electronic cards are not accepted.
The hotel releases the amount of the deposit that has not been used by incidental charges on the day of departure, however, the release from your bank will depend on their policies and often they extend the hold for 10 or more business days.
Acceptable forms of payment: American Express, Visa, Discover, Diners Club, MasterCard, JTB, Travelers Check, and Cash. Travelers’ Check and Cash payments are ONLY accepted upon departure.
Using a debit card? Please note: When you use your debit card at check-in, you are authorizing a hold to be placed on your bank account for the dollar amount of your entire stay plus $250.00. These funds will be held by your financial institution and unavailable to draw on. The hotel cannot cause your bank to expedite the release of its hold on your funds and cannot be responsible for any overdraft charges resulting from the hold placed by the use of the debit card.
