I keep seeing posts from people who say that you need a credit card to make a car rental reservation, or to get a hotel room. I have traveled a fair amount, and I have always been able to use my VISA Debit Card for those things. I have never been denied a reservation for car rental or hotel rooms becase I didn't have a 'Credit' card.
Apparently some have different experiences than I regarding this matter. Which hotel chains and rental car chains did you have this issue with?

I have never had this problem using a debt card. The thing you must remmber is that often times they put a freeze on a certain amount of money. So if you have $500 in the bank and you're staying for a night, assume that $250.00 will not be available to you.
