leisuretraveler223 Posted April 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2023 No, you don't have to show it. But I have to be honest, this is kind of a strange question. Are you planning on NOT bringing the credit card? The potential for there being a problem at some point on the voyage and sailor services needing to re authorize it is not slim. I've had that happen on plenty of cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on NOT bringing the credit card? i actually don't think this is a strange question. this might be a person that just applied for a card and needs to meet a spend bonus - chase/amex will give you digital card numbers that you can use while you're waiting on the card. i've done this a ton (even got a conrad to run my interim CC number off a scribbled scrap paper). could also be someone who has misplaced their card somewhere in their home, so it's not "lost" lost, just not on their person at the time.

neverendingcruising Posted April 27, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 27, 2023 A place that accepts a card number scribbled on a piece of paper is asking for fraudulent cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverendingcruising Posted April 27, 2023 #10 Share Posted April 27, 2023 If I was using a stolen card I would definitely go to a place charging $1,000/night over Motel 6, lol 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
