Why Only a Visa Debit Card?

I have just found out that it is the hotel who only accepts Visa.

 

If you book that hotel via Agoda you can pay with either Visa or Mastercard.

The hotel is a pay in full on the day you arrive, and it says you can pay by Visa or cash. This is Agoda, but Booking.com accepted my Mastercard  to make the booking. You have to scripe away to the bottom of the website to see this. The hotel is The Waterfront in Greenock Scotland.

I do wonder if I told them that I only have Mastercard when I arrive if they would accept it then.

I was trying to book a hotel in the UK through Agoda but they only accept Visa debit or credit cards. Why can that be? I have three debit cards. all Mastercards.

Anyone know why? Anyone else have this problem?

No point in going to booking.com when you reply to them, the answer comes back saying that the email address does not exist.

I book on Agoda frequently using MC credit card.

Last time was last weekend.

 

Not sure what the problem could be.
