What exactly does pre-authorization mean?
Credit card pre-authorization is equivalent to paying a deposit for consumption, but it is more convenient than paying a deposit, and the cardholder does not really want to take out the money. Compared with cash and debit cards, it has obvious advantages.

Take the hotel as an example. When the cardholder checks in, he swipes the card at the front desk of the hotel for pre-authorization, and only freezes a certain overdraft limit on the D cardholder's card. The actual consumption deduction occurs when the cardholder leaves the hotel. Not all POS can do credit card pre-authorization transactions, and UnionPay only allows a few industries such as hotels and car rentals to open this function.
