Depends on the policy of the company you're booking with.0

It was booked through Expedia. Can't find the answer to my query on their website.
On the confirmation emails it didn't display the card i payed with.0 -
If it was with a travel agent, the airline won't even have the card details as the travel agent would have paid the airline.0

I bought flights through Expedia for OmanAir and had to show the card at checkin. This was very nearly a disaster as I had cut that card up when it was full (at 0% for stoozing) and had to get the provider to send me a new one which arrived on the morning of the flight.

If its anything like Emirates its all made up if you used a travel agency. You could have showed them any card and it would have been fine.0 -

I've never had to show the same card at hotels, I booking using my card as security for the booking but we always pay using my husbands Halifax clarity credit card. Not any of the hotels have bothered to even ask if the booking was done with the credit card.
I've never had to show any credit card for flights so can't help there.0
