This is a completely nonsensical response to a legitimate issue. Discard the arrogance and understand that for some people, the amount of extra credit card hold can be highly unreasonable. During a stay in Vienna, I commented to my wife about the absurd hold that the PH Vienna places, as it is SEVERAL hundred dollars for a multi night stay. For some people, that is a serious issue and not everyone has 500 or 1000 extra to have blocked on their cards...and please don't give me the elitist "don't stay at nice hotels if you can't afford to have $1000 blocked on your card" BS. The holds are absurd in some places for sure.
