Booking your room via the hotel web site

Got a question.....

So I go on to the web site of the hotel that I want to stay at

and i want to book my room.

Does it ask for payment info and do you pay for it right away,

or does it ask for payment info and your CC wont get debited

till you check out,

or is all you do is just reserve a room for you for the time

specified.

I dont want to pay for a room now that I wont be seeing till june or july.

They charge your credit card for the first night only when you make your reservation. This way, if you fail to show up, they are not stiffed on the payment.

It is the same as calling. You will have to give your card number, and it is billed instantly. Only way to get it back is to cancel within policy guidelines (48-to-72 hours prior to arrival), otherwise they will keep it.
