They say this is a requirment of the mexican bank. I provided my credit card information with the original reservation request and am now feeling a little uncomfortable about the additional requests for information. Am I being paranoid? Is this standard procedure?
I had my Travel Agent DavidO do the booking for me and I did not have to provide the ID or copies of my credit card. You may wish to contact DavidO here on flyertalk. He is a truly exceptional TA and I do highly recommend him (as others on this board have done).
