At least here in the U.S., the best thing to do is pay with a credit card
when you need to pay upfront. If there is a problem, you can normally get
the card issuer to credit you and charge back the merchant. Also, if a
tour operator goes bankrupt, you can often get a refund through the credit
card company that you are unlikely to get otherwise.

I booked a hotel in Singapore via a booking agency but I was delayed.. I
rang them to get the booking transferred but they stated I had to cancel,
hotel policy, and rebook and pay again.
I said I would get back to them but I did not.
When I got to Singapore Airport there are instant accommodation agencies
just outside the gates so I booked into the same hotel. When I got there
they said that it was not there policy and I could have transferred
without
a problem.
Trouble is finding the hotel contact number as on the web they all seemed
to
go through the same agencies.
