No travel website would take a bank debit card, unless yours is a Visa/Master debit card.

Expedia does, thats where me and my family booked rooms for all of for a cheap price.
A debit card can be ran as a debit or credit…as long as it has the Visa/MC emblem it will be accept as a credit purchase. If you don’t have a lot in your bank account it might cause a problem. The hotel will hold the money amount for the room until you check out of the Hotel. Once you check out it will be taken from your balance. Just be sure you leave the extra money in your account so it doesn’t cause you to have overdrafts. Visa and MC companies are making it easier and easier to use their product. It also helps not to have to carry around cash.
Most people think they need a credit card to make a hotel reservation. However this typically isn’t true. As an alternative, a traveler can use a debit card, or even cash, to secure accommodations. In rare circumstances, a lodge may accept checking account information in lieu of plastic. Finding a resort that takes cash or debit instead of credit can take some work. However, many places want what you are promoting and will make the transaction happen. So don’t rely out journey due to money owed or the desire to stay a cash-based mostly life.
You must have a Visa or Master debit card for booking a hotel with a debit card. As long as it has the Visa or MC emblem on debit card it can be used as a credit card also.
