If you reserve a hotel on say booking.com and cancel the credit card (this is very common for certain kinds of travelers...) used and then do a no-show how will they charge the (usually) one night penalty fee?

Erm, nope? That's a debit card. Entirely different to a credit card. – chx May 17 '16 at 20:41

an empty debit card is equivalent to a cancelled credit card. – JonathanReez Supports Monica♦ May 17 '16 at 20:42

1@neo that is very interesting! As for credit vs debit. in my (limited) experience, a visa debit card is basically your checking account in a card form. – chx May 17 '16 at 21:26

if merchant has secured booking in advance and locked your payment doesn't matter card is valid or cancelled, you will be charged after no show. if debit/credit card payment is not secured and cancelled before no show up then you will not be charged
