  • 1 post

    Does anyone know if there is anyway one can pay in advance of pre-pay with Mandarin Oriental? Hoping to take advantage of the spend £500, get £100 off Amex rewards offer but won’t be staying until after the offer expires and all the rates available on Mandarin Oriental’s website seem to be payable at the property.

    Thanks!

    Unless you can visit the hotel and make the payment, it’s going to be risky.
    There have been many instances recently where people asked hotel staff to charge online, not received the credit, asked Amex and got outright rejected as it was not pay at checkout.
    Even for checkout within offer period, in some cases, unless you manually pay at front desk, the credits are rejected.

    I have successfully paid on account at hotels before staying to take advantage of offers like this. It does require visiting the hotel.
    Someone experienced at the front desk should be able to handle this for you. MO are quite good.
    Just explain that you want to prepay money on account before your stay. I’ve used multiple cards.
