Introduction
Hotel and airlines carding possesses significant profit potential through two distinct avenues: personal travel advantages and resale prospects. Although this practice carries a higher level of risk compared to traditional carding, the potential returns justify the undertaking.
Personal use applications grant access to premium travel experiences, such as luxury hotels and business class flights, at little to no cost. There exists a robust demand for discounted travel bookings across various platforms, forums, etc.
Establishing a reputation for providing reliable bookings at 40-70% below retail prices can pave the way for a profitable and sustainable business venture. The market consistently exhibits high demand, as individuals seek premium travel experiences at more affordable price points. However, it is crucial to comprehend that travel carding necessitates extreme precision and security measures. Errors can lead to consequences far beyond mere transaction declines, resulting in serious complications.
Example:
AIR TICKETS - from 40%
HOTELS - from 40%
EXCURSIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT - from 35%
CAR RENTAL - from 40%
etc.
This guide encompasses three methods tailored for the year 2024. These methods have undergone rigorous testing and have proven their efficacy through practical application, demonstrating their continued effectiveness when executed correctly. A thorough understanding of these methods is essential to achieving success in the realm of travel carding.
Prerequisites:
1. Direct Entry: Elevated Risk
This is the point at which the majority of novices commence their journey - and where most novices encounter failure. Direct entry entails engaging with the hotel or airline directly, typically through their application forms or telephone systems. It is where one can attain the highest profit margins, yet also confront the greatest risk.
The most significant peril is that at any juncture during the stay, the actual cardholder may discover the charges and report them. The direct connection between the cardholder and the merchant renders these transactions considerably more susceptible to dispute. As they are cognizant of which hotel was booked using their card, they can effortlessly contact the hotel and their bank with all the pertinent booking details. This frequently culminates in cancellation mid-stay and, even more alarmingly, guests may be detained.
Behold, an exemplar of a proper direct entry (should one be inclined to assume the associated risks):
2. The Miles
Miles and rewards programmes present a more sophisticated methodology. Two primary categories exist:
Access to these is frequently obtained through logs, either procured or deciphered by oneself. Here's what distinguishes this approach: when engaging with miles, one is already operating within a framework designed for distant reservations. It is customary to reserve a hotel chamber utilising points from afar. The crux of the matter is access and command.
In the case of hotel chains such as Hilton, Radisson, etc. one possesses compromised accounts with robust point balances. However, there is a caveat - the majority mandate reservations under the account holder's designation. Thus, a compelling narrative is necessary to explain why one is registering on their behalf.
3. The Agent Approach
This methodology is considered the most secure for serious carders. Prominent online travel agencies (OTAs) such as Expedia, Booking.com, Agoda, etc. offer a protective barrier between yourself and the cardholder or financial institution. The significance of this lies in the fact that when a cardholder identifies unauthorised transactions on their statement, they will only observe entries such as "AGODA HOTEL", rather than the actual name of the establishment.
This renders it exceedingly challenging for them to locate the specific booking details, and due to privacy legislation, they are unable to simply reach out to the agency to request your information (or in theory).
Even if they contest the charge, the bank will encounter difficulties in obtaining the requisite information. The OTA acts as an intermediary between the cardholder and the hotel, and industry giants like Expedia are not inclined to allocate resources towards investigating individual cases. By the time anyone could potentially trace the booking back to a particular property, the stay is typically concluded.
Method:
1. Initially, it is imperative to identify agents who process their own payments and do not forward them to hotels. To conduct a swift test: utilise a card with a deliberately incorrect expiration date or CVV. If the transaction is declined instantaneously on the website, this indicates that they process their own payments. If you receive a booking confirmation, it implies that they are forwarding the transaction to the hotel - these situations MUST be avoided.
2. The selection of the card is crucial in this context. Disregard any notions you may have heard about US cards being the most effective. In the realm of hotel bookings, Asian cards that circumvent 3DS will yield the highest success rates.
Counsels for Ensuring Safety
a) Refrain from scheduling check-ins on the same day; allow a minimum of 24 hours.
b) Ensure you possess a cash reserve equivalent to the booking value in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.
c) Maintain meticulous documentation of each attempt, irrespective of its success.
d) Initiate trials of novel methods with small sums initially.
e) Refrain from utilising cards originating from high-risk nations, such as India, Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, Argentina, Russia, etc.
Conclusion
Let us be forthright regarding hotel carding in 2024. There exists no guarantee of a 100% success rate in this endeavour. The crux of the matter lies in constructing systems that operate with sufficient consistency to yield a profit.
Long-term triumph hinges upon two factors: sustainability and quality. It is imperative to subject everything to rigorous testing prior to scaling up. Upon discovering an efficacious agent, refrain from entrusting them with all your resources - alternate between various options.
Nevertheless, even flawless execution shall not salvage you if you employ inadequate tools. Prominent hotel chains and reservation platforms presently utilise advanced AI algorithms capable of instantaneously flagging cards that have been utilised on other fraud-prone websites. When you procure recycled cards from resellers, you are effectively acquiring cards that have already been blacklisted.
The methodology outlined in this guide proves effective - provided that you approach it with patience, discipline, and the appropriate tools for the task at hand. Invest the necessary time to develop sustainable methods, uphold stringent operational security, and invariably utilise fresh cards.

These methods have undergone rigorous testing and have proven their efficacy through practical application, demonstrating their continued effectiveness when executed correctly. A thorough understanding of these methods is essential to achieving success in the realm of travel carding.
Prerequisites:
- Android / iOS mobile phones; refrain from utilising your personal phone for apparent motives. (Pro tip: PC carding is becoming obsolete for these techniques. The majority of people reserve travel arrangements on their smartphones presently. Employing desktop computer browsers arouses suspicion.)
- HQ mobile proxies.
- Position corresponding to the card's inception.
1. Direct Entry: Elevated Risk
This is the point at which the majority of novices commence their journey - and where most novices encounter failure. Direct entry entails engaging with the hotel or airline directly, typically through their application forms or telephone systems.

This frequently culminates in cancellation mid-stay and, even more alarmingly, guests may be detained.
Behold, an exemplar of a proper direct entry (should one be inclined to assume the associated risks):
- Ring the hotel's reservations department - one must project an air of professionalism, confidence, and above all, legitimacy. One is not a guest; rather, one is a third-party remitting payment on behalf of another. This particular is of paramount import.
- Procure the requisite authorisation form. Possessing a proper business arrangement is most advantageous. An aged domain travel agency website may also prove beneficial.
- Submit one's documents with the utmost care. The establishment will desire images of one's card and typically a copy of one's passport. Quality and meticulous attention to detail are of the essence in this matter. Those £20 Photoshop jobs simply will not suffice. One must engage the services of a reliable forger and artisan.
- Finally, under no circumstances should one ever tick the "all expenses / charges" box on the hotel forms. This misstep has the potential to transform an otherwise successful booking into a veritable nightmare when one's guest begins to accumulate exorbitant spa charges and room service / recreation fees.
2. The Miles
Miles and rewards programmes present a more sophisticated methodology. Two primary categories exist:
- Banking institution reward programmes
- Hotel/airline loyalty schemes.
Access to these is frequently obtained through logs, either procured or deciphered by oneself. Here's what distinguishes this approach: when engaging with miles, one is already operating within a framework designed for distant reservations. It is customary to reserve a hotel chamber utilising points from afar. The crux of the matter is access and command.
