A friend who travelled the US and stayed 1-2 nights at many places found out that a lot of them will manually do the hold on their terminal, and then manually charge you when you leave but not do anything about the hold, so it takes 7 days to drop off. $20000 limit and it hit it.
Also dont be suprised when retailers do things that would get you a huge slap from a bank here, like have you write down you card details including the CVV number and other absurdities like keeping the number in a database that all the staff have access to, they just do not care in the US.
wow. this is something I'd like to avoid. any suggestions? is pre-pay accommodation would make it any easier? do they hold 100% of room rate * number of days in hotel?
