When we used to book accomodation at Tegal Sari, they asked for credit card details, including 3 digit number on rear of card, and they charged the card immediately for the full cost of the room. With our most recent booking, they havent charged the card. I contacted them to check that the booking is secure and they explained
"Yes, at the moment we only use the credit card detail as guarantee only. However, as part of guarantee process, we require to submit the certain amount to check the validity of the credit card which will stay in the account for 1 month or until the guests receive the next invoice. However this amount will not be charged to their credit card since we will not submit the payment process to the bank"
I expect to submit the credit card charge with the bank, without signature, they do need to 3 digit number to ensure that card holder is in possession of their card.
For me, it would be one of lifes greatest disappointments if there was any irregulary whatsoever with my credit card, due to Tegal Sari.
