Learn how to bypass the cancellation fee for your guest or the credit card requirement when booking a reservation. If you have set up a cancellation policy, no-show policy, or prepay for your reservations, your guests will be prompted to input their credit card information when booking online, but you can change that to avoid the charge for your guest.

**Please note:** You can allow certain users to bypass this credit card requirement when booking by giving them the 'Book Without Payment' user permission. [Learn more about permissions for users](https://resy.kustomer.help/en_us/user-permissions-r1zCWDmU_).

##   
**Guest already has a credit card associated with their profile**

1.  Deselect the credit card first by tapping the number in the bottom-right corner.
2.  Tap on the blue “Reserve” button.

You can then reference that the credit card requirement was bypassed during booking by looking at the history tab of the reservation by:

1.  Tapping on the reservation on your booked list. 
2.  Tap on the “History” tab and expand the visit you would like to look at. For those booked without payment you'll see "without a credit card".
