Why does a hotel charge a second security hold after changing my room?

Our answer

Ask the property to void the superseded pre-authorisation and give your bank the release reference.

Why this approach makes sense

Travel, transport and payment providers use different rules. The correct answer comes from the actual booking, provider and transaction.

Before you try it

Check the operator’s current conditions and keep any relevant receipt or confirmation.
