That's ridiculous, but I have had the same experience traveling for work in the past -- the room had been booked with someone else's corporate card, but I ended up having to put it on my personal card that day. Thank goodness I could!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's so fucking frustrating! They already accepted my online booking. They have my card info. I have set up a way for them to verify that the cardholder has authorized the charge. Pfah.
Also, it would help immensely if some of their local friends could step up just a little bit to assist.

Local friend did step up but it's all still under the gun. The reservation will only be held until 3pm. I Venmo'd a chunk to SA. Then we PayPal'd the friend who will pull the difference in cash.
They need to get that money in hand and drive a half hour to the motel (with their dog) before 3.
Not the kind of Great Race challenge I wanted this morning.

So frustrating. I’m glad you were able to help them out, Hec!

I had to fill out authorization forms with the hotels and send copies of the card when I booked hotels for employees at last job.

Car bought, but it is getting a dent repair and is not available until Monday, so Mac has a loaner. Also could not get his car from mechanic to trade in, so that has to happen Monday. Max dealership would take on a credit card was 2500, so I have the rest on financing until I can get cash from my $ person. Got money order for his rent (new mngmt co, had to pay this month by MO).
Got large charge alert for card, low balance alert from bank, and drop in credit score alert all within an hour. Am back at airport.
I have more info on Mac than I have had in 14 month and I got hugs.

They have the cash in hand and are headed to the motel. So they should get there before 3. I'm going to call ahead.
