Sabre OTA_HotelResRS GUARANTEE NOT ACCEPTED


It says guarantee not accepted but I am passing a credit card and guarantee type that was specified in the HotelPropertyDescriptionRS. This failure is occurring across multiple hotels at the moment. Due to the sheer size and number of requests needed to work with Sabre, I posted the full RQ/RS trail from session creation to error on pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/NgH1LmYY

The pertinent pieces are here:

Obviously IPCC and customer data have been redacted from the outputs below. The hotel says it accepts GDPST and VISA, yet it fails... Why?


Solution

  • That particular rate is showing that needs to be sold with G guarantee type.

    GuaranteeSurchargeRequired="G"

    Do you get a successful response after changing GDPST to G?
