The same way a hotel does it. Pre-approve a deposit on a credit card or actually remove a deposit on a debit card.

We're not on the same wavelength here... as I said, you can authorize (pre-approve an amount to charge) on bank cards, debit cards with the Visa/MC logo, Visa/MC gift cards, etc. Since that's true, an auth doesn't tell you that the person presented a credit card.
