as long as you can input the name of the person who going to stay at the hotel.

coz hotel only acknowledge or allow guest to check-in as per booking stated guest name
*
hmm....but there is no guest name
they register to the name of the account owner...1 name only
and mind asking..
why per night there saying RM440 and the tax is RM53.70(6 nights)
but the final price is RM27XX.XX???
not RM24XX.XX???
and thn i go searched asiaroom...also RM440 but final price RM26XX.XX??
ps: i checked booking.com...same as asiarooms..RM26XX.XX

meaning agoda not always the cheaper source.

always look at the final price, which is the grand total.

i used booking.com before, its trusted as well.

hahaha....i tried one of the link above
http://www.hotelscombined.com/
i search the same hotel...same room...from RM404 become RM389
grand total become RM25XX.XX
and yes...it linked back to agoda.com for booking
why..same site but different price if link from another site?

hotel tax from RM53.70 become 40.41
HAHAHAA....what a joke

We are unable to pre-authorize your credit card.
Please ensure that the number is entered correctly.
AGODA only accepts credit cards (Visa, Master Card, AMEX, JCB and Carte Bleue).
If you continue to experience the same problem, please try a different credit card or contact your bank. Thank you

not sure if this help  smile.gif
i used to work in hotel line. as far as i know, debit card cannot be pre-authorized, it must swap as sale straightaway. that's why whenever guest pass us a card to pre-authorize for certain amount (if they prefer to use card instead of cash to pay for deposit), we have to check if that card is credit or debit card.

hmmm...haizzz
but just now the website go to HKG server(the subdomain say HKG not NYC)
the payment page got through..same card no problem but that was way way more expensive

thats too bad... next time, use credit card
if u concern on the security, use those card that requires to input OTP which receive via sms.
then you can lower the risk of card fraud.
*
not security issue...i never had that problem
problem is CC is a debt making machine...thats why i dn't use it
plus this debit card...every transaction made...i get some money back

haizz....same website different server = different price
but cannot get through the payment
