I went through a phase where I only had one credit card. Long story short I had an emergency and had to stay in a hotel. I had reported that card lost a day before so I had to pay cash. They asked me for a $250. deposit for paying cash! Fortunately I still had my ATM card (which was from a local credit union and did not have a VISA checkcard logo so could not be used as credit/debit). They said the deposit was for security purpose and if my info checked out the deposit would be refunded to me. Huh? I did get the money back but jeez.
