They would like a credit card to cover all the party damage you will do
to the room (holes in the walls, burnt carpet, vomit etc.), all the items
which will go "missing", and all the 3-hour phone calls you will make back to
Argentina (at the 10:1 markup they charge for hotel rooms). ;-)

Still, I imagine you can work something out one way or another- suggest
you ask Microchip's coordinator about it. They might want a refundable
deposit or something like that, worst case. It's a lot harder to do
ordinary things without a CC- renting a car, for example, would become
much more difficult or impossible. 8-(
