Chargeback and disputed transactions
1. A chargeback occurs when a customer disputes a charge that appears on their monthly credit card statement.
2. The merchant is notified typically through the mail via a chargeback notice from the credit card company. The notice provides the details of the transaction, a copy of the dispute description signed by the customer and instructions on how to proceed. The options include:
-Do nothing: if you agree with the dispute then nothing else is required. The credit card company will deduct the amount of the charge from the designated bank account.
-Justify the charge: The Credit Manager will need to write a letter to the credit card company explaining the situation and the reasons why the charge is valid and will need to provide documentation to support the charge (copy of credit card receipt, proof of guest stay, etc.).
3. The Credit Manager is responsible for justifying the charge and a credit card dispute file must be kept current.
Monthly credit card reconciliations
1. A thorough reconciliation of the credit card transactions is necessary to justify the monthly balance shown in the credit card accounts within the city ledger.
2. For each account, the credit card reconciliation is prepared on a daily basis by Accounts Receivables. It compares, day by day, the total credit card transactions processed by the hotel with the payments received from the credit card companies and the commissions charged.
3. On a monthly basis, the Financial Controller must carefully review and authorize all credit card reconciliations to ensure that:
- the nature and age of all pending items are clearly recognized
- the allocation of payments has been done correctly
- the commissions posted are accurate
- for any items over 30-days a detailed analysis is maintained, stating the credit card slip
number, guest folio reference and all actions taken in regard to recovery. In particular,
formal inquiry letter signed by the Credit Manager should be sent to the credit card company and/or the bank.
4. All credit card reconciliations once finalized, must be submitted to the General Manager for his verification and signature.
5. Example of credit card reconciliation (a different form must be used for each credit card accepted)
