[76attendees] credit card problem at ANA hotel

[Ronald van der Pol <[e-mail]>]

My credit card (Dutch ING bank card with EMV chip) is not accepted
by the ANA Crowne Plaza hotel. This happened last week when I had
a one night stopover at the hotel.

I have phoned my bank and they said that there is nothing wrong
with my card. And indeed, I have been using it at a few other places
in Japan last week without problems.

Today, I asked the ANA hotel if they could check if my card is
accepted. Again, I told told it was refused.  So I asked them to
call their bank and the clerk at the reception had a long telephone
conversation. When he hung up I was told my card was successfully
charged now (which was not exactly whay I wanted, but better pay
now than have problems during checkout).

Did anybody else use their foreign credit card already at the hotel?
