Is my credit card charged when I add it to my profile?

When adding a new credit card to your profile, GetGoing completes a card authorization without any charge - meaning no money is charged to your card, even temporarily. The amount is blocked but not charged.

  • In Germany, the blocked amount is €0 (except AirPlus cards, in which the blocked amount is €0.01).
  • In the United States, the blocked amount is $0.


Please note that during this authorization process, your credit card provider may require that you complete a 3DS verification.


Once your card is validated in your traveler profile, booking trips becomes even easier - just select your credit card after choosing your flights, hotels, cars, or trains.
