Incremental authorization Payment Card #

Incremental authorization is when a request for an additional dollar amount on a prior authorization. An Incremental authorization is used when the final amount for a transaction is greater than the dollar amount of the original authorization. Incremental authorizations are common in the lodging industry. For example, a hotel guest might register for one night, but then decide to extend the reservation for additional night. In that case, an Incremental authorization might be performed in order to get approval for additional charges pertaining to the second night.
