- Booking transmit your credit card number and CVV unencrypted to the hotel. I don't understand how could anyone use this site.
- davidverhasselt 10y agoProbably not much less secure than calling and giving your CC to a person jotting it down or emailing with the same details. Most of the hotel custom booking forms look like '90s HTML3 pages so the alternative is usually not better anyway.
- tangue 10y agoIt's unfair to compare Booking.com which is the largest adwords buyer in the world to small indie hotels. Let's contrast this with Expedia which have a single use virtual card for each customer. Why can't Booking do the same ?
- ryanlol 10y agoI don't understand why people pretend that this matters.
- ryuker16 10y agoAt which point? Through the website?
- tangue 10y agoThe number is transmitted to the hotel's software through an API but anyone with access to the software can see the number in clear.
