Ok, some of your comments are just horrible about hotel employees. I'm sure that your experiences have made you more cautious with your personal and financial information. However, not every hotel employee is out to get you. Car sales reps are among the top 5 most dishonest professions in the country, but yet 80% of the population still use car sales reps to make one of the most expensive and important decisions in their life. There are dishonest ppl everywhere. Don't bash all hotel employees to justify your own careless behavior. Being a FDesk Mgr of a very reputable franchise myself, I can tell you my hands touch a lot of sensitive personal, and financial records daily. I have never so much as thought about violating any of our guests finances. Some people are not honest and will try if given the opportunity. Wouldn't that make the c/c holder just as liable as the thief if c/c holder is loose with their info? Don't blame it all on hotel staff. If you plan to pay with c/c, be wise about it or just pay by cash. Most places will accept cash. If they do not.....keep in mind pre-paid debit cards are your best bet if u don't want to or cannot use cash. It is necessary if paying by credit for the hotel front desk staff, auditor and mgmt to have access to your c/c info to pay for your purchases.
