I think it's a bit stupid, they would of realised something is wrong when connecting to the laptop network. Why would you need to put in personal credit card information, just to access the internet, something doesn't seem right. I would of either used the hotel's network or I would of used my own phone internet.

Completely agree. I guess the whole point is to show what's theoretically possible.

99% of Wifi access points does not have a credit card information so a user must be suspicious about giving a credit card and wondered why its needing it when others does not.

Two ways to access the Wifi are: enter the password or access through the access point without password.

Also its a make sense when written to be Free Wifi Hotspot then entering your credit card. Well halted on that operation before to proceed.

That's what we have here, we have to connect via password to access it and we also have mac filtering on it as well.
