RE: Why I'm Using AirBnB To Book My Accommodations While Traveling Abroad In SE Asia
I'm using booking dot com because I do not need to put a card on file, or pre-pay, or hold the room in any way except to make the reservation.
Traveling in se asia means my plans change fast and I might not actually stay in the place I booked once I see it. I'm traveling on the very low end of the scale - under $10 a night. I want a reservation for the first night, but I don't want to pay for my possible changes. I wonder if I will change if I can afford more - I think I will still be cautious.
I may use booking.com at some point in the future but AirBnB has worked out well thus far. However, I do agree with you about having your credit card information on file not being a good thing. Again I will have to check out booking.com to see what other advantages it may have over using AirBnB.
