General Registration Policies

Form of Payment

Credit Cards are the only forms of payment for HOT CHIPS 33. Registration may be charged using a Visa™, MasterCard™, or 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.  If you have problems you cannot resolve please contact regsitration@hotchips.org.
