Which credit cards can I use to make a booking?
When making hotel bookings via SmaxGo, the following credit cards are generally accepted:
Visa: One of the world’s most widely accepted credit card brands and accepted by most hotels.
MasterCard: Like Visa, MasterCard has a wide acceptance network and is frequently used for hotel bookings.
American Express (Amex): American Express cards may also be accepted at many hotels, although some hotels may only accept specific credit card brands.
Discover: Discover cards may be accepted at some hotels, but acceptance of this card may vary from hotel to hotel.
Maestro and Cirrus: These are generally debit cards and may be accepted as credit cards at some hotels, though they may not be valid at every hotel.
Things to Consider When Booking:
The Hotel’s Card Acceptance Policy: Check the hotel’s credit card acceptance policies. You can find this information in the hotel details on smaxgo.com or by contacting the hotel directly.
Credit Card Type: Some hotels may only accept specific credit card brands. If the card you are using is not accepted by the hotel, you may need to use an alternative card.
Payment and Security: It is important to use a secure connection when sharing your credit card details. SmaxGo and hotel booking systems generally offer secure payment transactions.
When making a reservation with a credit card, ensure your card is valid and has sufficient credit. Additionally, some hotels may request a pre-authorisation (hold) on your card during the booking process, so it may be helpful to check that your card supports such transactions.
