I came across this recently but in a different context. Rather than give my credit card number I asked if I could pay a depsit by an electronic transfer into their bank account. I was told yes, but would have to pay the US$10 bank fee. I actually made the booking through an agent, didn't have to give credit card details and no deposit was required. If you can be bothered, it's worth looking for alternatives.
