I was charged $400 as a "hold" on May 1st for our room. Atlantis is giving me the run around and saying it is going to take 5 days to resolve. Meanwhile, my account has already been debited & my balance is all messed up!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the $400 "Hold" on my credit card for the Atlantis attendees mean?
The $400 "Hold" on your credit card is a temporary authorization that ensures funds are available for your room reservation at the Atlantis. This amount will not be charged to your card but will be held until your stay is complete.
When will the $400 hold on my credit card be released?
The hold will typically be released a few days after your check-out date, depending on your bank's policies. It's advisable to check with your bank for specific timelines regarding holds and releases.
Will I be charged any fees for the $400 hold?
No, there are no fees associated with the $400 hold. It is simply a way for the hotel to ensure that you have sufficient funds available for your stay.
Can I use a different credit card for my stay if a hold is placed on my primary card?
Yes, you can use a different credit card for your stay. However, the hold will still be placed on the card used for the reservation. You can inform the hotel at check-in if you wish to use a different card for payment.
What happens if I cancel my reservation after the hold is placed?
If you cancel your reservation within the hotel's cancellation policy timeframe, the hold will be released, and you will not be charged. If you cancel outside of that timeframe, you may incur cancellation fees, depending on the hotel's policy.
