ULPT Request: How do I book a hotel room without a credit card?
Posted by getsothrownaway@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 9 comments
I want to spend a few hours in a hotel room without it showing up on a credit card. It doesn’t have to be a hotel room- just somewhere where I can get naked and eat a bowl of jello without getting put in a list, like that old Val Kilmer movie. Any ideas?

I’ve used debit cards plenty of times without issue.

Find an hotel that accepts debit cards?

Good use of the indefinite article!

Pay cash for a prepaid Visa gift Card. Book online with the card, they may want to have it on file for incidentals, but as long as the value can cover the night you book it shouldn't matter.

Cash? Doesn’t sound like you’re requiring the nicest hotel ever so…

Most privately owned motels accept cash, some even still let you pay by the hour. It's good money for them 🤷
A while ago I stayed at a place for about a year that charged me $800/month to live there, but he'd sell the other rooms for $50/hr.

He wants to fuck that bowl of jello

Find some where where it looks like you can pay by the hour and drug addicts are living. It will be extremely dirty and probably have bedbugs, but that’s the price you pay.

Nowadays, it's not going to happen at any "national brand" chain hotel. Most hotels are going to require some sort of card with a name on it matching your ID. Its just standard practice for the industry.
Your best bet is going to be small motels or motor inns. Something family owned off the beaten path. A lot of these places already cater to a shady clientele or folks that are down on their luck. Just have cash, be prepared to pay extra and have at least a half decent excuse as to why you dont have a card with your name or ID. (Got kicked out of your house and didn't have a chance to grab them or some shit like that )
