Hotels process card payments on virtually every transaction — room charges, restaurant/bar tabs, spa services, event bookings, and incidentals. A single guest's stay can generate $500–$5,000+ in card charges. With average processing rates of 2.3%–3.0%, the annual cost for even a mid-size hotel is staggering.
A 100-room hotel averaging 70% occupancy at $180/night ADR generates roughly $4.6 million in annual room revenue alone. At 2.5% processing: **$115,000/year** — just on room charges.

Network Offset Pricing for Hotels

Guest Acceptance
- Corporate guests are expense-account driven. Business travelers paying with corporate cards are largely indifferent to small pricing differentials.
- Group and event bookings incentivize ACH/wire. Event organizers paying $10,000+ for meeting packages readily choose wire transfer.
- Transparency aligns with hospitality standards. Clear pricing is a service, not a detraction.
