booking procedure

[Sarah591]

i have a client trying to book one night but they say their credit card is not being accepted.  is this because I havent pre approved?

No.  Their credit card is being denied.  However, if they don't have a booking - meaning they don't have a reservation - there is no credit card to be charged.
