The Pre-Auth Remaining Arrivals report displays Authorizations for all bookings listed in "Remaining Arrivals" that have not checked in as of the time of Night Audit.  This feature requires that a Traditional MyCard^© account has been setup by the property and the has made the correct setting choices in their Setup area for Night Audit.

This function is completed after Night Audit, for 'today's arrivals, in order to get a list of bookings where the credit card 'guaranteeing' the booking has insufficient funds to cover an authorization for 'tonight's rate'. Thus, these bookings can be contacted (for a new 'Guarantee by:") or their booking cancelled in order to free rooms to re-sell 'today'.

Any User with 'Night Audit' access can run this function by clicking the "Pre-Auth Remaining Arrivals" which is visible ABOVE 'Settle Credit Cards' . The amount authorized is the amount of the first night's rate (i.e., today's rate) but not including tax.  Learn more in MyCard- Pre-Auth Remaining Arrivals and MyCard - Night Audit

Note: The date of the authorization is displayed at the top of the report. For example,  "11/22/15 9:11 PM by <user name>". This reflects the time that the Pre-authorization was completed in Night Audit (Pacific Standard Time). See Understanding the Night Audit

To see what credit card is 'guaranteeing' the booking, go to the Booking Details and then the Booking Data Tab (See Booking Data).

To see processed or batched credit card transactions, see MyCard Batch Settlement

Understanding Auto Authorization

The Auto Authorization function allows you to charge a pre-determined authorization amount to a guest credit card upon check-in.

To use Auto Authorization, the setting must be enabled. Go to SETUP | PMS | SETUP. See SETUP

• Auth Flat Fee: At check, the authorization will add the value from this amount (found under Hotel Setup) when doing the authorization at check in.
• Auth Nightly Fee: At check, the authorization will add the value from this setting (found under Hotel Setup) for EACH NIGHT OF THE STAY to the authorization amount. This is a onetime authorization at check in - if a booking is edited (shortened or extend) this authorization will NOT change automatically. The only way to increase or decrease an authorization Is to do so manually.

Guaranteed By: In the second section, under Booking Information, locate the "Guarantee By" field and choose the credit card type from the drop-down list. When you select the credit card type from the Guarantee By drop down list the screen will expand to show "Credit Card Details". (See below)
