Well not always true. In my case of the AMS Marriott I gave them a dif credit card at check-in from the profile & THAT's what I expected to be charged. When the guy at check-out said, do you want us to charge it to the same card I said yes, EXPECTING it to be charged to that card - not to the one that I had used to reserve it/in my profile 9 months earlier! That's what created the angst, me worrying about washing dishes, missing my flight, & incurring overseas telephone charges back to the cc co, who actually talked to the front desk (for which I did not get reimbursed).
Maybe Marriott properties need to start being more specific at check-out - ie, do you want it charged to card xxxx which you used at check-in or card # xxx, which is on your profile?
Cheers.
