I do not have a $900 line on the card. I had a $900 credit balance.
If they would of called me and said there was a problem regarding security vis a vis my card, I would of understood. However, the hotel was told it was a credit problem. When I called Visa, after giving the hotel my AX(I have never had a problem with them, if there was a security check they asked to speak to me) They told me that "they always say its a credit problem" and If I called before I travelled it would of been OK. An apology would of cooled me off but not that it was my fault for not calling them. Also it was a Marriott card used to check into a Marriott hotel overseas common sense would indicate that the hotel saw my passport. I was also disappointed by Marriott., Anyway I canceled the card, received a check for my credit balance.
