I hear ya. Can't count how many posts I made, pasting parts from Darren's first post in the FAQ thread, to answer people's questions - some were even in the FAQ thread! Is it possible some don't know FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions?

I've made $300 worth of room on a CC just in case, it'd suck to get there and have trouble.

Well said.

I can't believe how some people miss this stuff either. Almost EVERY question is answered in the FAQ. And the questions that are NOT answered... are either common sense, or special needs questions.
I'd hate to think we're gonna be around a buncha airheads all weekend.
I kid, I kid!
Everyone just needs to read the info if they have unanswered questions.... and get ready to have some freaking fun!

Just FYI, for those with no CC or cash problem, I got the hotel to fax me an authorization form to use my moms. I myself only have a debit card, and it doesn't have $300 I can afford to hold all weekend. This might work for you. Just don't forget to bring a copy to the hotel in case your paperwork gets lost in the shuffle.
You will need front and back copies of the CC, their DL or ID, and them to sign the form.

Wow... to think that asking whether I could use a debit card in lieu of a CC, makes me a air head who has never stayed in a hotel room before. Okay.
First of all, f uck you guys. Second of all, I am able to use both CC or Debit... I just prefer one over the other. Third, I've read the FAQ before and didn't exactly remember the specific answer to my question.
And for good measure... read the my first point again.
Trust me, I've done way more traveling in my years than you kids have, I'm sure.

I work for a major credit card company...let me explain how it works, this may help!
On a credit card they will place a hold for 300.00 on your card that will be released the day you checkout.
On a DEBIT card- They will also place a hold for 300.00 HOWEVER it will NOT be released for about 3-4 days after you checkout! With the debit car, you can not use that money and will not have access to it until you leave the hotel!
Cash- they will take 300.00 cash but you will not get it back for 3-4 weeks and it is mailed to your house in the form of a check!

Whoa! Everybody just chill! We are all headed to a weekend-long party to celebrate something we ALL share a mutual passion about, Scions!!! And to top it all off, Scion is not only throwing the party for us, but paying for ALL of us to attend!
Don't let your feelings get stepped on simply because someone misunderstood a post. Besides, who is going to let a simple internet post, or a single word for that matter, stand between them and the comaraderie developed by sharing a common passion?
Everybody forget your "notes to self" and previous disagreements and focus on having a GREAT time!!! :D

These post are to let people get information about things that they are not sure of. If you know what your doing and don't care to help out others, then stay off the post. It's a day before most of us leave and we are all trying to make sure we have everything!
As for searching through 10 pages of "chit chat" to anwser one question. It's easier to just ask again!
