To sounds better to me. On also probably makes sense.

Thank you for your response.
Could I ask you what you think about the following?

I need the credit card that the reservation is booked under.
I need the credit card that the tickets are booked under.

Would you say it like this or change something?

Can a reservation or ticket be booked under a credit card?

Thank you

I personally have some reservation in using "on ". In situations where a store has no cash refund policy and you are returning a merchandise which you purchased, they may say something like the following:
We will refund the full amount to your account.
We will credit the refund to your [credit] card. Or: passively "The refund is credited back to your account".

It is more natural to say that a reservation is made under the name of a person The ticket or reservation will be charged to a credit card. [ By the way: you should ask for the 'credit card number', not just 'the credit card'. ]

So this is what they would ask?

I need the name that the reservation is booked under.
I need the name that the tickets are booked under.

How would you write :

I need the ID of the person that the reservation is under.
I need the ID of the person that the reservation is booked under.

Grammarfreak, thank you for your options but is the original incorrect?
We will refund the full amount to the credit card used to purchase the merchandise.

Thanks

Ok, bear in mind, this is beyond the basic everyday grammar question. There is nothing wrong with your sentence; grammatically speaking ,and people would understand you. However, to express the sentence more idiomatically, I would just say:
" We will credit the refund to your account ". The red part is unneccessary because the context in which the sentence is expressed is already understood.
