When we were down last week, ALL the internet access was down. Several of the places had a "plan B". they took our CC card number and our phone number if there were any issues.
I understand the "trust" ramifications on both sides.
Same story for us in February. No ones POS machines could connect with the network so we left several places with our card number and a promise to process the sale when the connection was fixed.
Unfortunately we did have our card skimmed during the trip, and had to cancel it when we got home, but Visa does NOT believe it was any of the merchants on Anegada. Second time that has happened. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> my advice is to bring cash. As someone else said, the small merchants like it much better!
