Technically, there is still somewhat of a record even if you pay with cash. Settling your bill with cash instead of a credit of debit card is a great option. But since all hotels require a valid government issued ID to even check-in, there is still documentation of who booked the room.

Do u mean u should only look here? Or you were looking somewhere else? Originally Posted by VIP Mya MichelleI was looking somewhere else. Actually it was a MFM with civilians so I thought. They wanted me to book a room, in their name. Okay I thought it was a bit of a risk but rooms are not too much so okay.
Are you saying the Provider uses her credit card? Not sure I'm understanding this. Originally Posted by ProlongusWith regard to the situation the OP was speaking of, it sounds as if someone was trying to get your funds.

If something seems "off" then it generally is. Follow your gut.
If you wish to not have a paper trail, there are SO many females in the DFW area, then just go ahead and see someone that has their own place or hotel.
You can use a Visa/MC/Amex gift card to book your room, and then give a cash deposit although now, there are certain hotel chains that are balking at cash deposits.
But like others have suggested, even with that, you'll still have somewhat of a paper trail.
Doubt that with using a gift card to pay for the room, and cash for a deposit, that someone could trace it back to you unless you just left out receipts for a SO to see. Originally Posted by ElisabethWhispers
