I've only had one show that had a credit card issue. I got notice from HO asking me how I'd like to handle it. I told them I'd resolve the money thing with the guest and to release the show. It was resolved within 24 hours so I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure for guests you are just meeting to have their full contact information and hope for the best. Chances are you won't have any cc problems.

They give you a deadline like mentioned above to solve it by (I can look at my latest email to see how far out hte dealine was). But I have been a consultant for over a year and a half and have only had a few issues with this. I wouldn't worry about it until it happens. Not to say this will happen but I wouldn't be so worried about cc, checks are worse because the money is coming out of your account.
