Booking.com: can multiple people manage one booking?

Well, what the title says. I have a booking but none of my payment cards works for the pre-payment. I asked a relative if I could use their card, but they are hundreds of kilometres away from me. So we have the following options:

They send me their card number by mail/SMS/skype/phone...: very unsafe
I send them my login information for booking.com: fine with me (I trust them) but still doesn't sound correct
I share/transmit the booking into their account: however, I haven't found such option in booking.com

So the question is: Can we do Option 3 somehow, or will we have to stick to Option 2?

OTAs usually allow third party payments, but it is normally the 3rd party that does the booking ie: your relative makes a booking and pays for it with on your behalf. That way their address, contact and payment information is in the record and you are listed as the room occupant only.

In your case, you have already made the booking so your address and contact info is part of the booking. This would cause their payment to be declined due to address mis-match.

Why not check to see if you can make the same booking again (see if the rooms and rate are still available). If they are, cancel your current booking and then get your relative on the phone and have them make / pay for a new booking.

Otherwise your best bet is to call booking.com and see if they will allow a third party payment from outside the original booking. Some OTAs do have a payment form that can be filled out and signed, so that an outside party can pay.
