How much will the hotel pre-authorize on my card?
My son has a new job where he will travel a lot for business. He will need to use his own credit or debit card and then be reimbursed. I got him a Marriott gift card, but from what I learned on the gift card thread, it will be better to 1) have him check in with his own card,
2) present his MBB/MPP upon checkin or during his stay,
3) and then just present the gift card upon checkout.
When I spoke with him yesterday, he didn't know how long he would stay, so I booked him a room @ a RI for 2 weeks. Would they pre-authorize the whole 2 weeks when he checks in? Would they ask him to settle up after a week or so? I just wanted to make sure he has enough "room" on his card.
