HOS-5835 - CARD TYPE DEFECT
Error: "THE CREDIT CARD TYPE IS NOT VALID FOR THE GIVEN CARD NUMBER. PLEASE USE MASTERCARD.”
(CARD TYPE NOT VALID FOR GIVEN CARD NUMBER), every affected credit card transactions and account numbers should be escalated directly to Technical Services team.
But, we don’t automatically assign the ticket to Escalation Administrators, because we still need to spark T2 (Karen said we can direct to T2 for this issue) and have someone from their team own the ticket.
Usually, the specific card details are not being recognized by choiceADVANTAGE as a correct card for a certain card type. So it might go through when selecting other incorrect card type, then escalate to T2.
STEP 1: Where did they get the Error Message?
- While creating a Walk-in / Reservation in choiceADVANTAGE
- While Checking-in the reservation
- While posting a credit card payment
STEP 2.1: Creating Walk-in / Reservation
1. Use the suggested card type to check if it will go through
2. Try asking for other credit card, or another method of payment (eg; Cash)
3. If no other card /cash and the caller insist, offer option like booking reservation through www.choicehotels.com or Choice Gen. Res (over the phone) to have the credit card accepted
- No other way to fix it, cannot be escalated.
STEP 2.2: Checking-in reservation
1. DO NOT TEMPORARILY CHANGE THE PAYMENT METHOD TO CASH JUST TO CHECK-IN
2. Use the suggested card type to check if it will go through
3. Try asking for other credit card, or another method of payment (eg; Cash)
4. If no other card /cash, go to Guest Folio > View Authorization Center > manual authorize even just 1USD just to save the card details
5 Once successfully authorized the card, you may now check-in the reservation under cash temporarily
- collect all necessary info, then escalate the ticket to T2 for fix
STEP 2.3: Posting a credit card payment
1. Use the suggested card type to check if it will go through

3. For AU/NZ - offer to collect the payment on their separate card terminal, then activate POS-CardType transaction in CHADV and post the payment POS-CardType on guest folio
- inform that they can just take note of the discrepancy on the report, but if they insist to fix, check if T2 will accept the escalation
STEP 3: Collect necessary details for Remedy notes / Escalation
