But..... When checking into a hotel A form of deposit is going to be requested
of course
and I ran into a situation where Hotel staff wanted me to sign in advance on the blank credit card voucher as a guarantee at reception upon check-in it didn't seem logical for me but anyway I complied at that point

Now I want to be clear is it a common practice you guys ever experienced?

it is kind of a budget hotel

Thank you very much guys for your input into this !
