At least in the USA, even if you manage to book a hotel without a credit or debit card, they will still ask for one at check-in for collateral for potential damages.
Thanks for the video. I have a question, I booked without a credit card and then cancelled day before check in date, but booking is saying I owe money. How will they be able to collect that money from me if they don’t have my payment information?
How did you cancelled the booking? Normally if we cancel should be no problem. You can't cancel your booking just day before check -in. To avoid charging anything from booking.com in future please use different email for all future booking until you settle with booking.com
Dear i booked a hotel in hongkong without credit card and i didn't notice the cancellation policy After booking it said if u cancel the day of arrival or cant reach the property you'll be charged 100% Now u say how they will charge me or claim that I did not provided any phone numbers or credit card number Plz help me Free cancellation hotels require cancellation before 2 day of arrival Then if u cancle what will i show to the immigration officer Coz if i book and then cancel they will verify it right??
Some countries don't have this options and also booking.com implemented new rules. Soon everyone will be needed to provide credit or debit card details.
There are places that not allowed to book without cards. I'm that case you can book with cancellation option. If you don't have a card, you can use one from online.
