Continuity mistake: When Kevin checked into the Plaza, the credit card was manually processed by the receptionist. However, the Concierge later runs the same card electronically and the screen flashes "stolen." The hotel wouldn't have both systems in place for credit cards. They would have had to call the credit card company to verify the status if they used a manual processing system.

41 continuity mistakes
Directed by: Chris Columbus
Starring: Tim Curry, Catherine O'Hara, Daniel Stern, John Heard, Joe Pesci, Macaulay Culkin
Other mistake: In the scene where Kevin is making the hotel reservation on the phone, the lady does not even ask the dates of when he will be arriving and leaving the Plaza.
Kevin McCallister: Howdy do. This is Peter McCallister, the father. I'd like a hotel room please, with an extra large bed, a TV, and one of those little refrigerators you have to open with a key. Credit card? You got it.
Trivia: In the scene where Kevin is first entering the Plaza, he stops to ask a man where he might find the lobby. The man Kevin stops is Donald Trump, owner of the Plaza.
Question: Why are they all so shocked that Kevin called Frank a cheapskate? He is. He also just practically admitted that he's not paying for this trip?
Answer: Not only was it disrespectful toward his uncle, when a kid Kevin's age says something like that, it is often attributed to overhearing and repeating what adults said. The implication is that Frank would now know what his adult relatives thought of him. They are shocked partly because they are embarrassed and feel guilty.
