Hotel payments

[Wild Bill]

I know most hotels accept credit card payments for reservations but do they accept other forms of payment such as debit, MasterCard debit or prepaid cards?

Yes. Exactly as you said, you usually need a legit cc to hold. But on checkout you can square up w a prepaid card etc. Even cash. Just note that if your cc account is online, that hotel "hold" charge on your legit cc will be visible for a couple of days before it vanishes. Thus if you have those concerns....be advised.

When making a reservation you need a legit CC even when checking in you need to give a CC as a deposit no charges will show on your credit card as long as you fully pay your bill at check out and no damages done to the room.
At one time all you had to do was pay cash at the front desk when checking in, not the case anymore

You shouldn’t have got married.

Most credit cards give you the option of online only statements. You could also get a card specifucally for things you don't want other people to see and get the paper statements sent to a different address. There's always a way to protect your transactions.

Here's how Wild Bill would have to go about this (assuming he is married and has joint account with Wife):

• Apply for Credit Card Online at different Bank (one of the Big 5 with Branches); use your Burner Cell as your Phone Number
• Provided that Will Bill isn't already a Customer of said Bank, he will have to go into a Branch with ID to pick up the Credit Card (which is a good thing in this instance)
• Ensure the Statements are Online Only
• Assuming that Wild Bill does not have a Bank account at the Other Bank; and he does not currently have a Bank account separate from his wife; Will Bill can pay the Credit Card with Cash; he just needs to deposit the Cash in the Other Banks ATM; he puts the Credit Card in the ATM and enters his PIN, and there should be an option for Payments

There is a company called privacy: https://privacy.com/

They offer an online prepaid credit card account to mask your original credit card to withhold information from some merchants and manage constant bilking for service providers like a phone bill or the sort.

I have never used it personally, but probably worthwhile to check out. May be possible to use in a hotel application.

I think you can still pay cash but the hotel will still want valid ID so they know who you are when they find your body in the room.
