Lotta crap and untruths being posted here.
I have used CCs to pay for flites numerous times in OZ, US, S.E.A. and NZ.
Never once asked for CC in umpteen checks in over many years.
I buy tickets for my Filipina gal from MNL, Clark to BKK via KL_LCCT. to meet me when I arrive from NZ.
I have used my CC to buy her tickets on R.Brunei, MNL _ AKL.
She made these flites without a hitch.
CC and passports are able to be used at check in if you have lost your printout or have forgotten booking code.
I guess I am repeating an earlier post of mine.
Get a life you people, be fair.
My feeling here is a lot of posters are having fun scaremongering.
Perhaps others experiences are different than yours. Or -- if anyone has to be lying, perhaps it's you. Perhaps you are suffering from Alzheimers and you forgot it happened to you. You see, anyone can be offensive. I suggest you lay off.

Not sure why you think people are posting untruths just because it differs from your experiences, many people have had first hand experience of airlines enforcing their conditions that are clearly displayed on their websites, I know I have. So you have never experienced this on your flights, well lucky you.

I think the posters are far from scaremongering they are just trying to be helpful and giving fellow posters advice that a lot of airlines enforce their rules. They could of course say nothing and let others find out the hard way.

Payment and Ticket Delivery
1. How do I pay for tickets purchased online?
Currently, we accept VISA, MasterCard, Diners Club (temporarily not accepted for journey that commences from China, India and U.A.Emirates), American Express (temporarily not accepted for journey that commences from China, the Philippines, Indonesia, South Africa, India and Vietnam)and JCB (temporarily not accepted for journey that commences from China and Vietnam).
Please note: The physical credit card used to pay for tickets must be presented by the cardholder for verification at check-in, or when collecting the tickets. Otherwise the cardholder must present the physical card used at the nearest Cathay Pacific Ticketing Office for verification prior to the flight departure. The cardholder does not need to book and travel. The carriage reserves the right to deny boarding or collect a guarantee payment (in cash or from a new credit card) should you fail to present the card originally used.
In addition: If you choose Visa or MasterCard for payment, you may be required to enter your personal password in a secure page for authentication to complete the online purchase; if Verified by Visa or MasterCard® SecureCode™ security feature is enabled by your credit card company.
Please sign up for Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode™ with your credit card company if you have not yet registered.
(Explains it all).
The passenger should have a printout of the E ticket for Customs and Immigration purposes when he or she checks in at the check-in desk of the airline.

This is thrice today I've seen really poor information on TV (old thread notwithstanding). Actually, I guess it's quite common, I just haven't been counting.
Every post one makes on an online forum is timeless, meaning it'll always be out there for as long as the site is hosted or until it gets deleted, if ever; therefore, putting out blatant misinformation and making assumptions from one's own experiences with no thought past one's own little world is not going to help anyone and actually makes the perpetrator look silly.
There's no scaremongering here. It is real, it's happened to me on many occasions in Muang Thai and I'm thinking you're gonna find out the hard way. Please come back to this thread and divulge all when your day goes pear-shaped. Much more interesting than garnering useful info and thanking those concerned, heh! Good day.

Qatar Airways are very strict on the rule of producing the credit/debit card used for online booking at check-in on BOTH legs of the journey.
I booked a flight with Qatar Airways with a debit card which expires this year (2009) for a flight in 2010 so I contacted Qatar Airways regarding this matter because my new debit card will have a new # and expiry date and be a 'new' card.
They said I must produce an original bank statement of the cleared transaction or I would be denied boarding.
So if you book online with Qatar, be aware that you MUST present your credit/debit card or original CC/bank statement on BOTH legs.

Have things changed
In normal booking I book for TG via a travel agent pay via credit card, there is a surcharge for paying this way and e ticket is issued.
Will she be asked in future to produce credit card that I paid travel agent with.

There is no relation between those stories and pre-paid airline tickets. The ticket is already paid for and frankly I don't need the airline's help in protecting my 'security', if by 'security' they mean denying my significant other the right to board with a ticket purchased with funds from our relationship. Most advanced Western airlines like United don't require the passenger to be the card holder at all... it's only these ramshackle asian airline passengers that are paranoid they'll lose a few extra ruppees to some member of the thieving lower castes.
[/quote]
Wether you need the airlines help or not in protecting your security, these are the rules and not just "ramshackle asian airline " as you put it.
You are getting uptight and beligerant and this won't help, you are aware of the rules, but have ignored them.
Best you give the airline a call and see what can be done about it, I would suggest you drop the arrogant attitude first though as it won't get you any assistance.

As mentioned earlier in the thread and probably forgotten, for anyone experiencing the issue, a visit to the local airline office where one can show the CC and have the agent note the efile or completing the appropriate permission form allows one to deal with the problem.
I am surprised that anyone would call people reporting that they had to present their CCs at checkin scaremogors. I have had to show my CC on every asian flight for the past 2 years (even on Nok). UA asks for in in BKK as does ANA. EVA requires it when my flights originate in the USA or Canada. On my domestic legs where the flights originate in North America, I am not asked most of the time because I am using kiosks to check in and they verify my identity with my passport which is linked to my CC info in the airline database.

Why should a passenger need to present the credit/card used for booking if he/she is actually proving ID by providing a passport? I don't understand it.
Plus, why should people who forget/lose/replace/be isued a new debit/credit card be denied travel, in some cases the payment may have been processed months before?

I have travelled a few times booking online with TG website and at fist leg checkin they have asked me to show CC.
On the other hand I have flown many times with Air Asia and SAS with online booking and have not been told to show CC.
So just because you have not experienced CC check does not mean that people are scaremongering.

Good question. You are right that the CC could have been lost after paying for ticket months in advance. At least TG bookings thru their website seemms strict in requiring that you show CC on first checkin.
I dont know what would happen if the CC had been lost in the meantime ? does any body know ?

I don't know how many times you need this confirming, but it is REALITY. I have been asked to produce my CC EVERY time when I have arrived at the check in. Sorry if you don't like the truth, but that is the way it is, accept it!

I'm not clear why this thread keeps going. The facts are the facts.
But, what you brought up happened to me in May. I went into a bit of panic realizing that my lost CC had been replaced with a different account number. So I called TG in LA and they said they didn't care which CC I showed, as long as I could show a CC.
Go figure.

I have never had to show my card with Qatar airlines and i fly with them most of the time. Not saying it does not happen, just not happened with me

I understand these are the rules. But I have never experienced this. I flew with Qatar this year having booked with ebookers and was not required to show my debit card on either flight.
Same with every flight I have taken in the last few years (30-40 flights).
Maybe its different if you book direct with the airline?

Yes, it is different if you book with some airlines rather than a travel agent.
