Payment in fulll is pretty much standard. I’m sure agents and hotels will find an angle to exploit the first ruling but the refund policy is a biggie, it gives inmates at least the ability to point to rules being broken. If they could extend to hotels not charging the extra night so much the better BUT let’s not deny this is a positive move.

my guess is there’s some admin to sort out first. It is of course possible that other hotel availability may miraculously come available

May be we got lucky with Nina. They would charge the card for 1 days cost as deposit and charge the rest on arrival (as close to that as possible.. Details are hazy,).

that’s an interesting point. The announcement talks about payment in full. Does that mean that the few hotels currently not doing this will now do so. That’s ok with refund guidance from the authorities but refunds can take 30-60 days. Not helpful for people in a hole (which is the status quo anyway).

Not all hotels require payment on booking. Four Points only charges you when you are within the 21 days non-cancellation period.

Note: government notice says payment "in advance" not "on booking"?

Full payment but your point is valid for those few hotels that don’t take the full lot in advance on booking. Going down well in FB as well.
