Ask for a copy of passport details. I have made online bookings with at least a doz hotels and overseas travel agencys over the last 6 years and they have ALL requested credit card details and a copy of my passport.All of them have made me aware that they would deduct(from my credit card) the equiuvalent of a nights stay if I didn't honour the booking.
This I thought was a fair thing, given that they hold the room for you, and forgo booking it out to a cash paying customer. As a previous poster said, if you are having reserevations , just alter one of the numbers that you give them for your credit card .
