In Reply to: Booking online - how much info? posted by Phoebe on Friday, 11. March 2005 at 10:56 Bali Time:
I won't do that. The numbers on the back are your security code to prove you actually have the card. If you give anyway your front numbers AND your back numbers (if you will excuse the espressions) you are giving away all your security.
I've just booked direct with Tegal Sari. Email tgs indo [tglsari@indo.net.id] - they are a bit slow at replying but hey, what's the rush. They are very well set up with several ways to pay ( in advance ) and all sounded fine and NONE involved giving the numbers on the back - which I personally would never do. I scanned my passport and should have scanned the front of my credit card ( instead I put the numbers into the email which i should not have done ). Scanning and sending the image of the card and passport means that other computers cannot "read" the numbers off the email - computers can read and understand text but they cannot read and understand text as an image. Anyway TS got back to me yesterday to say they had processed my card so the room is booked - 1-4 June is anyone else is there at the same time - it would be good to meet.
