From real experience

Experiencing issues with payment and booking on Booking.com using Russian and Belarusian cards, even for hotels where payment is upon arrival.

Tried various methods including VPN, different browsers, and currency changes without success. Previously booked without problems. Inquiring if selecting 'rubles' during payment with a Russian card is a necessary step, and if the issue might be related to the card being for booking rather than immediate payment.

PIX is the standard instant payment system in Brazil.

When booking accommodations, avoid sending card details (including CVV) via manual forms sent by email or WhatsApp. Prefer established booking platforms (Booking.com, etc.) or verified local sites to ensure payment security. Credit card theft risk is significant when sharing details with unverified merchants.
