Can I use a debit card to book a hotel room online?

I am booking a hotel room online, and it said we only accept major credit cards. I do know the difference between a credit and debit card, so my question is, will they also allow the debit card? Or just a credit card?|||Assuming the debit card can be used as a credit (has either the Visa or Mastercard logo), yes it can.





But do not use it when you check in. The hotel will get an approval for the night times the number of nights you are staying, plus about 25% to cover taxes and incidentals. Since it is tied to your bank account this approval will freeze any funds in your account and could cause you to bounce checks.





Many of the major hotel chains use systems that authorizes credit cards automatically when the clerk swipes your card and checks you into a room. To get around this, have the clerk check you in prior to swiping the card. Then have the clerk get an authorization for the exact amount that will be charged. This will eleviate the hold put on your account.|||if you debit card has the Visa or Mastercard logo, then yes.





you can use it ANYWHERE visa/MC is accepted... just like the CC.
