Always save payment card, which you paid for the tickets on the internet

If you travel a lot, you know that the plane tickets, the train is convenient to buy through the Internet. It is also convenient to reserve hotels and rented apartments through services like booking.com or airbnb.com. Because of its isolation from the countries of the first and second world visa cordons, we are preparing the tickets and other purchases well before departure. This is because the paper must be submitted to the Embassy for a while. No problems on the trip you will not, if you save and take with the plastic, which performs purchase. Otherwise, it's going to happen ...

Last year I attended a conference The Next Web, which was held in Amsterdam and buy a plane ticket on the route Kiev - Hamburg on the internet. Then I bought the train tickets by DB Bahn for Intenetu from Hamburg to Amsterdam. This route consisted of two pieces with change. In addition, I spent a reservation of the hotel in Amsterdam. And then I forgot about the purchase before departure. During this time, I changed my relationship with Universal Bank, and I tore up a contract with them, and the plastic card is destroyed me (not lying around).

The trip. I quietly flew on a plane and I was never asked about the card, which I paid for the ticket. I'm just lucky here (for example, the airline Bangkok Air always asks card used when purchasing ticket). But then all hell broke loose. I sat on the train, thinking that the tickets that I had on hand, normal. But the guard who was checking them, immediately requested the card - its number was listed on the electronic ticket. I did not have it, and he brought with him a police officer. German police are not like ours, looking at them, I floated the image of the terminator of the same movie. Ticket I paid again in cash. The loss amounted to € 140 small.

Before I reached the hotel at two in the morning and at the reception told me that my reservation was canceled. Service checked my card three days prior to entry, and not finding a just took my reserve with the system, and settled in my room some lucky Poles. A warning letter from the service in Spam, and I did not know. At this time in Niderladnah passed Queen's Day. These days find an affordable hotel is almost unreal, packed to everything. I spent a few days in hotels for € 200... 300 per day as soon as they were places. Of course, that these expenses were not included in my plans, and it is very sad.

So, if you buy e-tickets or to backup the Internet map, then save it and take it with you when you travel - this is very important.

Did you have such a situation in the travel, and how you got out?
