Lewis BlackWell I'm not either, just trying to clarify for the other idiots on here who are insisting that bank details are being requested, which as you can see they are not Beachcomber.

Just TogetpublishedYou sound suspiciously like a PSOE plant/Bot.....I guess missing all that lovely data collection made during covid......

17 pieces of information now required, phew the weekend break will be over before finishing all this inputting of data. Thank goodness we avoided Spain for our pre Christmas break. Can’t see the all inclusive tourists bothering with this all this palava next summer, going to be plenty of empty sun beds available as they use common sense and holiday elsewhere.

AmbergrilloNor did the Post office system - for years!

BeachcomberCertainly not only in EU country. Your memory is very short!

Just TogetpublishedNever purchased anything online ?

BeachcomberThere is no requirement to put your bank account details in. Check your facts before spouting off on here. The new system of registering guests staying at Spanish accommodation is in full effect from today. There have been several articles in the UK press over the weekend, repeating false information, claiming that "guests have to hand over all their bank details"...This is totally false. Up to today, guests passport or ID details were taken on check in and sent to either the Guardia Civil or National police using their respective websites Hospederías or WebPol. Now, from today, guest data must be submitted to the Ministry of Interior via their dedicated SES.Hospedajes platform. The number of data points to be collected has increased: the property will now need to gather 17 pieces of information per guest at check-in. Previously, only 9 pieces of data were required. This will apply to all travellers over 14 years of age. The data collected is as follows 1. First name 2. First surname 3. Second surname (if applies) 4. Gender 5. ID document number 6. Document reference number 7. Type of document (DNI, passport, TIE) 8. Nationality 9. Date of birth 10. – Full address (Place of usual residence) 11. – City (Place of usual residence) 12. – Country (Place of usual residence) 13. Landline phone number 14. Mobile phone number 15. Email address 16. Number of travellers 17. Relationship between travellers (if any are minors) As you can see......There is NO "field" on the online form regarding bank details. * NOTE* Most apartment blocks or even some hotels ask for a deposit in case of damages nowadays, this has nothing whatsoever to do with this scheme. (It can normally be paid in cash or a "pending" payment on a card.

BeachcomberNo they don't.

So. Is anybody really surprised the "system" does not work ?

Just TogetpublishedYes credit card details, bank details home telephone numbers etc. Just waiting for all the hackers to move in.
