Pay cash hotels booked with Agoda?

Upvote:4

If you have booked a "pay at hotel" reservation through Agoda, Booking.com, etc you can settle the bill with whatever form of payment you wish at check in. I have switched payment forms on several bookings both in the states and abroad.

The credit card is there simply as a guarantee that you will show up and pay. If you do not check in, they will bill the card for the room they held for you.

Hotels are quite content to take cash, as it save them the 2-3% merchant fee they get billed when you use a card. And Japanese businesses prefer cash over cards, especially small or rural locations.

BUT, be sure to read the fine print, as some of those "pay later" options state that the hotel may charge the room prior to arrival. In which case the room may have been billed or authorized before you arrive.
