If you book a' free cancellation' room, the hotel will only use your credit card as pre-authorization to protect your order, and all expenses will be paid in the store. If you book a' non-refundable' room type, the hotel will directly deduct the cost from your credit card. If there is no credit card, you can provide a friend's credit card first. Some hotels will require cardholders to fill out an authorization form, as long as the cardholders fill it out and send it to the hotel.
