Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those Google Forms? I don't think I'd trust my credit card information to one if it's reminding me not to enter my password in one!
This "hack" appears to just be abusing a conference organiser's pre-arranged rate for hotels near the area. I'm assuming the Google Form submits your information to the conference organiser, not to the hotel. They should (but apparently aren't) cross-reference the attendance list before passing the approved reservation to the hotel.

Yep, that looks like Google Forms. GAH!

It's always jarring to read something that techies call a "hack" which is something that non-techies consider common sense. What is localfu going to "discover" next? That you can ask the concierge desk to book reservations at popular restaurants?
