The  reason for this is that credit card processors put businesses in 
classes.  CORSA is a MO/TO (mail order/telephone order) company, and the 
rules we  have to follow are specific for each industry. MO/TO is different 
than  orders taken on the 'net or retail stores and the requirements are  
different for both classes of companies.




Harry,
This is nothing against you, but I maintain that CORSA is not making the  
room reservations.  They are being made by individuals who just happen to  be 
members of CORSA.  I'm also a member of a lot of other organizations  (AAA, AARP, 
etc.) and if I make a reservation with a hotel using that membership  to get 
a discount they don't require additional ID until I actually arrive and I  
have a confirmed reservation with a confirmation number.  I think someone  down 
there at the Sterling is misinterpreting the rules.  I'd bet that if I  called 
there right now and made a reservation without mentioning CORSA they  would 
make it with only my credit card number, address, and telephone  number.
