Can you make a hotel reservation under one name and use a credit card with a different name?
If two people are going to be staying in the same Hotel Room, is it possible to use one person’s name for the reservation and use the other person’s credit card? My boyfriend is 24 and I’m 19. Since you have to be at least 21 to check into the hotel, we want to use my boyfriend’s name for the reservation and my credit card to pay for the room. Do you think this is possible?
As long as the card is not charged at the point on reservation (as it would be on a website like Priceline) it is possible to put another name on the reservation. Hotel systems have no way of telling whose card is attached to the reservation. Think about how many times you’ve checked into a hotel and your name, address, or both have been wrong. Truthfully it only becomes an issue if you dispute the charge on your credit card and the hotel has to prove you were the one who authorized the charge. What I would do to avoid all confusion and unhappiness is one of two things. Either pay your boyfriend back and let him pay for the room or have the hotel charge your card up front. This forces the desk clerk to charge the card and ask for a signature from you. This signature and the accompanying receipt are completely separate from the hotel registration your boyfriend will be asked to sign.
Your situation is not as common as the situation business people often find themselves in. Business men and women are often checked into hotels using what is called a credit authorization. This is an authorization to charge a third party’s credit card. However, the people who fill these out want their employees’ name on the receipt…not their name. This is for expense report purposes. So, it is common practice in the hotel industry to not have the credit card holder’s name on the registration. What is important is authorization. If you have authorization to use the credit card you plan to use then you go for it, the hotel could care less how old you are just as long as a 21 year old or older is accompanying you. But if you want to avoid any possible check-in issues…just pay him back:)
Hope you have fun!
