Question about canceling and rebooking

[CarKey]

I currently have a room only ressie for June 2012, staying at CBR. My neighbor and I booked together and we used her Disney Visa for the one-night deposit on both rooms, and I gave her cash. Now, if (fingers crossed) an amazing discount comes out this week and I want to call and book a package will I have to have her credit card in order to cancel the room-only? Or will they just take the $128.25 that I deposited and use it as a credit and allow me to pay the additional money to make the full $200 package deposit? Obviously I would use my own credit card for that. I just know I'll want to do it first thing in the morning and I won't have access to her credit card. She will not be changing her room only reservation. Thanks for any info!

No, but the refund would go back to the card. You would have to be able to verify three key points of information though.

I booked my brothers room under his name, when I cancelled it, they just refunded the deposit back to my card(i did pay the initial deposit) So they would be able to cancel that ressie and make a new one, needing a new deposit

changes from room to/from package result in a refund of the deposit and a new charge for the other. They are handled differently.

Since you have a room only reservation which you want to change to a package reservation they will refund you the deposit from the room only reservation and you will have to put down the package reservation deposit. The money can't be transferred from a room only to a package.

The room only deposit will be credited back to the original payment method - i.e. your neighbor's credit card. I'm not sure if you need her card number, etc. in order to get the refund.

Thanks everybody! That clears it up. I'll be ready with a full deposit and then I can have her card refunded later.
