CARD PREAUTHORIZATION POLICY

---

For stays including or commencing on or after November 1, 2024, the following terms and conditions apply with regard to credit and debit cards used to book room reservations and presented to the hotel for incidental charges:

• A preauthorization hold for $250 USD will be placed on the card on the scheduled arrival date, serving to guarantee payment for incidental charges and as a security deposit. This preauthorization hold will appear in your bank account as a pending transaction or pending charge, reducing your available spending by $250 USD until the hold expires. Please consider carefully when choosing to present a debit card.

• If the card on file is declined for the required initial authorization hold, you must provide another card or a cash deposit in the amount of $250 USD before keys to your room will be issued. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of your first night’s room and tax prepayment and room accommodations will be refused.

• If you choose to change the method of payment from the card you placed on file, you must do so using online check-in prior to arrival or at the front desk. The acceptance of the alternate payment form may be subject to different terms and conditions.

• You represent that you have the right to and do authorize the owners of the Mari Jean Hotel and/or their affiliates to charge the card(s) linked to your resort reservation(s) the full amount due, which may include any balance due on your room account folio(s), including incidental room charges, parking fees, rental fees, extensions of your stay, smoking / vaping recovery fees, any property damage or loss due to your negligence or willful conduct, and any other miscellaneous charges. You understand that your card(s) will be charged for all amounts due on your folio(s) without any further action on your part based on the authorization you have granted.

• Acceptance of a card payment is subject to approval by the issuing financial institution; the transactions that appear on your itemized folio(s) will be charged to your payment card account(s) that you have previously placed on file and will be transmitted electronically without further approval from you and that your personal liability for this account is not waived if another person, company or association is billed, but fails to pay.

• Unused amounts from the preauthorization will expire within seven (7) days of your departure from the Mari Jean Hotel without further action required from you.
