So I was looking to book a room and the below popped up for the first time (or first time I've noticed) for my hotel choice. The only Hyatt in the area where this notice appears when trying to book.
Valid credit card required at check-in. There is $15 per day authorization for incidental charges, which include, but are not limited to food and beverage charges, long distance phone calls and pay-per view movies. Any unused authorization is fully refunded 5-7 business days after check-out, based on bank processing times.
So even if I use a credit card, and there are no incidental charges, I am still charged and have to wait for a charge back? Seems odd for a CC charge and it's the first time I've seen it on the reservations page. (Has this been ongoing with me not noticing it?)
Cheers
