Hotel holds/authorizations - do they report?

I'll be traveling at the same time as my Cap1 reports to the credit bureaus.  My balance on the cc will be $0, but there will be a pre-authorization hold from the hotel.  Will this hold amount show as part of my utilization when the card reports?

No.  Not until Cap1 receives a sales slip from the business.

The amount on hold doesn't actually post to the balance so it won't show. I stay in hotels apprx.150 nights out of the year and I've never had that happen.

Starting Score: TU 652- EQ 658 - EX 668
Current Score: TU 679 - EQ 681 - EX 681 as of 3.13.11
Goal Score: 700 with all 3

Wonderful. Thank you all for your fast replies. Smiley Happy 

 

Also thanks to everyone for all of the other great posts.  This forum has helped me bring my credit score from 'Poor' to 'Good' territory in under a year.

I tried to find the answer to this as well last month - happy to say auths have no impact on reporting!
