How to Reserve a Hotel Room Without a Credit Card

1. Locate hotels in the area you need to stay. Call each of them until you find one that will accept a Paypal transfer to cover the reservation. It's true that some hotels will only accept credit cards, but there are hotels out there that want any customer that has the ability to pay. Paypal has become a widely accepted form of payment.
2. Pay cash at your local pharmacy or department store for a prepaid Visa or Mastercard. Only put the amount of cash on the card that you need to reserve your room. Almost all hotels accept these cards as a form of payment because the cash is already on the card.
3. Call the hotel directly and ask them to accept a bank transfer to reserve your hotel room. You may need to talk to the manager, as Excelloz Travel states the regular concierge may not be aware of this. Hotels that want your business will accept a bank transfer.
4. Look to see if your debit card has a Visa or Mastercard logo on it. Often times a bank issues a debit card for a savings or checking account with one of these logos. That means you can use your debit card wherever Visa or Mastercard are accepted. Just make sure you have enough money in your checking or savings account to cover the reservation.
