General Registration Policies

Forms of Payment

Credit Cards are the only forms of payment for HOT CHIPS 2024. Registration may be charged using a Visa™, MasterCard™, “Discover™ or American Express™ card. All credit card payments require the credit card number, expiration date, name as it appears on the card, CVS code, and the complete billing address.

  • Credit Card Rejections: Please be sure that the billing address you supply is current.  In our experience most credit card rejections are due to a mismatch between the address you enter and the address on file with your credit card provider. For example, you may have moved recently or are using a company credit card. It is particularly important that street number and postal code be correct. If you have a problem the best first step is to contact your credit card provider directly. If you still have problems please contact regsitration@hotchips.org.
