1. Book As Guest To Stay Anonymous

For users who prioritize privacy, our guest booking feature allows you to make hotel bookings without creating an account.

How it works: Browse your preferred hotel and select “Continue as guest” or enter your information directly without login.
Why it’s discreet: No booking history is displayed on the website or app after you make the booking.
Perfect for: First-time users, travelers in need of quick, private bookings, or anyone who values anonymity.

2. Trace-Free Payment With Local Wallets

E-wallets have simplified everyday payments, offering a convenient option for users. At Flow, we supports popular platforms like Octopus, PayMe, AlipayHK, and WeChat Pay. Using any of these local wallets to book with Flow, your transactions are processed without appearing on the bank statements. This is ideal for users who value privacy or want to avoid tracking on the credit card.

Advantage of e-wallets: Payments are processed without appearing on your bank statements.
Why convenient: These platforms are widely used in Hong Kong, making them familiar and easy to access.
Perfect for: Users who don’t want credit card transactions tied to their hotel bookings.

3. Top-Up Flow Dollars with Cash at 7-11

Cash is the King for ultimate privacy. Do you know that Flow offers a unique feature where users can top up their account with Flow Dollars using cash at any 7-11 store in Hong Kong.

How it works: Visit a 7-11 store, provide your Flow account details, and add cash to your balance.
Why it’s discreet: Payments made in cash leave no electronic trace, ensuring complete anonymity.
Added bonus: Flow Dollars can be used for future bookings, giving you flexibility while staying private.
Perfect for: Those who prefer cash transactions and want to keep their bookings entirely off the grid.

4. Hide Your Booking History and Reward Points

At Flow, we offer customizable privacy settings that let you keep your booking records private. We understand some of our users want to enjoy all the member benefits while staying as anonymous as possible. Therfore, Flow App allows you to erase your booking history at your discretion, ensuring that no one can view your past reservations. Additionally, users can hide any Reward Points history, which helps prevent your stays from being tracked through loyalty programs, providing complete discretion. But no worry, even if you hide Reward Point history, those Reward Points are still effective and counted towards your member upgrade eligibility in our system. (So the feature is essentially to hide the Reward Point history only.)

Booking history: You can erase your booking records in your account settings with just a few clicks.
Reward points: Erase reward point history if you prefer not to leave a trace of your activities.
Why it’s discreet: Even with a registered account, these settings allow you to manage your privacy effectively.
Who it’s for: Frequent users who want the advantages of an account without sacrificing privacy.

5. Opt for Crypto Payments

Great news for tech-savvy users! At Flow, we provide the option to pay with cryptocurrency, a secure and anonymous payment method. Unlike traditional payment methods, crypto transactions don’t require personal information such as names or credit card numbers. Instead, they utilize blockchain technology, which is secure, encrypted, and decentralized. Only available on Flow App.

Benefits of crypto: Transactions are encrypted and decentralized, ensuring that no personal data is linked to the payment
Supported cryptocurrencies: Flow accepts major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC and so forth.
Why it’s ideal: Crypto payments add an extra layer of privacy and security.
Who it’s for: Users who value cutting-edge technology and maximum confidentiality.

6. Pay Cash to the Hotel at Check-in

Prefer to handle everything face-to-face? Flow lets you book online and pay directly at the property when you check in. Available at select partner hotels, this option gives you the convenience of reserving a room online while keeping control of how you pay.

How it works: Choose “Pay at property” in the filter. Click on “Pay at property” during booking and settle your payment at the reception upon arrival.
Why it’s discreet: There’s no digital record of your payment on any online platform—just a classic, straightforward cash transaction between you and the hotel.
Bonus: You still get to lock in your preferred room and timeslot through the Flow App, all without needing to process a card payment.
Ideal for: People who prefer in-person payments or want to avoid any online financial trail.

Currently there are only 13 hotels offering this, but more hotels will offer this payment soon. Stay tuned! If you really want a hotel offering this option, send us a message via email and we will prioritize talking to that hotel for you!

Over 300 high-end hotels and co-working spaces are offering daytime booking from 1 to 12 hours on Flow App. You can save up to 75% off the full-day prices. Flow offers seamless and flexible solutions tailored to your lifestyle.
