Can credit card pre-authorization allow money to be deducted directly from the card without my permission?

Clear answer: It is possible under special circumstances. :

Under normal circumstances, after a consumer books a hotel, the bank will first freeze part of the funds in the credit card at the merchant's request as a "guarantee" for the consumer's consumption at this merchant. The pre-authorization does not equal the actual payment, but the pre-authorization still occupies the credit limit of the credit card like the actual consumption.

Once the pre-authorization is confirmed, the corresponding funds in the card will be frozen and the credit limit will be reduced by the corresponding amount. This amount will be "frozen" in a short period of time before the actual consumption amount is deducted at checkout or the merchant revokes the pre-sale right.

When checking out, the hotel will destroy the original blank pre-authorization POS form and proceed with the "pre-authorization confirmation" procedure for checkout based on your actual consumption. When the customer settles the pre-authorization, the pre-authorization will be cancelled.

However, it should be noted that after using pre-authorization, if the processing is not canceled in time, the merchant can directly transfer the money, and the bank will generally not refuse to pay.
