You need to be very careful when having an affair to be sure that you don’t get caught. While having an affair is a risky proposition, there are ways to protect yourself when going to a hotel when having an affair.

1.Use cash for everything you can. Call around until you find a hotel that takes cash deposits. This will prevent any strange credit card charges. Many hotels will accept a cash deposit with no credit card. You won’t be staying at the Hilton but you will decrease your chances of getting caught. IF you have no luck getting a hotel room with cash, and your lover won’t/can’t spring for it, then sign up for a new Mastercard and make sure to use a PO box or fake address for the bills.

2.Make sure the hotel is out of town if you don’t live in a major city. Search here for good deals on hotels. Pick a hotel that you wouldn’t normally be even close to. In you are higher class, head down to the lower class part of town and vice versa. Less chances of you being spotted if you are out of your normal element.

3.Arrange to meet somewhere first and arrive in separate cars, preferably at the hotel itself. You won’t want to be caught with your lover in your car.

4. Bring a change of clothes. Shower and scrub yourself well. Ideally you’d wear clothes that you can throw out, but realistically, you’ll just need to put your clothes in laundry as soon as you can. Do not leave them in the bottom of your hamper. If you can, stop at a laundromat even.

5.If the hotel requires ID, provide photo ID without an address, or without a current address on it. Give a fake name, address, phone number and email address if you can. You don’t want the hotel sending you a, “Thank-you for staying at our hotel” card in the mail!

Affairs can be fun, just make sure you don’t get caught cheating!
