The Ritz-Carlton credit card authorization form is used specifically to allow a cardholder to allow a third (3rd) party to charge the card for the duration and cost of their stay. As one would expect from a luxury hotel chain of such high repute, their authorization form requires a lot of information from the individual responsible for filling it out. While it might go without saying, this document should be sent to the Ritz-Carlton location prior to the arrival of the guest, and it should be submitted via mail or fax. Below we’ve detailed the information required of the cardholder and we’ve supplied a free fillable PDF for your convenience.
How to Write
Step 1 – Download the form in Adobe PDF to begin the authorization process.
Step 2 – Begin by supplying your information as follows:
- Name as it appears on card
- Card type (check applicable option)
- Account type and company name (if applicable)
- Account number and expiration date
- Account holder address
- Phone number
- Fax number/Alternate number
- Email address
Step 3 – Now the guest’s information must be entered in including the following:
- Name
- Company
- Phone number
- Fax number/Alternate number
- Confirmation number
- Arrival date
- Departure date
- Relation to the cardholder (if other, specify)
Step 4 – You can leave the room rate, taxes, and total daily rate fields empty to be filled in by the hotel staff. However, you must enter in the number of nights and the charges which can be applied to your account.
Step 5 – One benefit of using this form is it allows you to set a maximum authorization amount to be charged to your credit card. Enter this number into the first field displayed below before entering your name and the day’s date. Print off the form, sign and send it into the Ritz-Carlton location of choice to complete the process.
