If your PMS Setup area for Night Audit is set Allow Credit Card pre-Auths: Automatic, then any auth errors are reported as MyGuest requests so that each booking that fails can be dealt with by the Users set to manage 'Self Checkin' events.  The authorization will be based on bookings arriving as set in the Night Audit Automatic Credit Card Pre-Auth area.  The options are: 0 => Same day arrivals; 1 => Next day arrivals; 2 => 2 day arrivals in future; 3 => 3 day arrivals in future. For example, if a booking is set to arrive in 2 days, the selection "2" will mean your Night Audit process will always look 2 days ahead to auth those bookings.  This policy allows for a single setting, it can't be 'mixed' to auto-authorize today's ("0") and tomorrow's ("1") arrivals. If you have completed 'Auto Pre Auths', the Auto Night Audit email that comes to your main property email will have a line at top: alert "PreAuth Completed: Please check myGuests for any errors." and you will receive a "PreAuth Results"  email with details of all Auths - successes and failures -as documented in the Setup area.

*Note: if you wish for automatic or manual pre Authorizations to be done, you must notify BookingCenter Support  to turn the feature on.  Only BookingCenter staff can turn these on after an analysis of your MyCard setup and policies.  Starting to authorize customer credit cards without proper process in place an be a very costly mistake .

No Automatic Pre-Authorizations
