Name the airlines that require the credit card at check in?

Take a look at this site for further evidence that Singapore Airlines are scammers...

Hardly a scam.

BA, AF, VS, VX, FR all do random credit card verification at check in. Many more do (I would actually say most), but they are the only ones I have personal experience with.

When I posted on here, I explained to my mate that within 10 minutes there would be 10-15 posts saying it was my fault.

He didn't believe me until I explained that the people who post will have thousands of posts to their names and that they do nothing else with their sad lives except sit and sweat and post garbage in response to those posts that are trying to be of some use to people.

Point proven.

You accept that you were wrong then? Good good!

It was your fault. You're quite an angry person aren't you ?
Is it because you realise you bal*sed up and your poor son was left with no ticket for his journey home ? If you don't like the fourm and the replies showing you were wrong, then sod off.

That's an interesting question - if you ask over on Flyertalk I'm sure someone will know the answer.

No they don't.

Please explain then how someone would purchase a ticket for a family member in another country - other than by Paypal!

Emirates Customer Service laughed at the ludicrousnes of Singapore Airlines policy.

I am speaking from my own experience - what experience do you have in the matter?
