Again my point is that in no way shape or form does it say they require ID. But it doesn't have to say that. They word it so they don't have to go into specifics. When you confirm the booking you confirm that "I have read accept the Rules and Restrictions and Site User Agreement". So you are responsible for all of those details when you confirm booking.
Again per my previous post, on Hilton.com this statement appears clearly on the booking page at the bottom right above "Book Now" , "We reserve the right to cancel or modify reservations where it appears that a customer has engaged in fraudulent or inappropriate activity or under other circumstances where it appears that the reservations contain or resulted from a mistake or error." Booking under a false name would constitute "fraudulent or inappropriate activity".
Since Hilton's T&C do not specifically state that the cardholder must provide photographic identification upon check-in, their T&Cs do not negate their contractual agreements with VISA/MC. Would I be correct to say that they would then have to work within VISA/MC's guidelines in preventing fraud?
In other words, Hilton may cancel your reservation if they suspect you are not who you say you are, but they must ask you for something other than photo ID since the VISA/MC merchant agreement states the absence of photo ID cannot be a barrier to sale.
