ClearHold
One clear fee. No hold on your card.

$19.99 covers up to $75 of incidentals at limited-service hotels. $39.99 covers up to $100 at full-service hotels. Per guest, per stay. ClearHold is not open for public purchase yet.

| Feature | Traditional Card Hold | ClearHold |
|---|---|---|
| No card hold at check-in? | No | Yes |
| Guest sees one clear price up front? | No | Yes |
| Guest can pay for extras from a balance? | No | Yes |
| Guest can use a linked card for extras? | No | Yes |
Yes. The fee is $19.99 or $39.99 + tax as a separate one-time charge at check-in. The exact amount depends on the hotel's service tier and is shown before you pay. It replaces the card hold most hotels take, which is usually $100β$500 held for several days.
Add your own money to your ClearHold balance or use your linked card. You still pay for room service, minibar, valet, and anything else you order.
You can choose to skip ClearHold at check-in. If you do, the hotel may run a traditional card hold instead.
At check-in, once. There is no monthly bill and no recurring charge.
