Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - CX ticket showing CC number

It seems everytime I get a CX ticket (not e-ticket) issued it prints my DC number in the form of payment field. Always a pain as I have to send the ticket back to be re-issued, cause theres no way I'm having my CC number on a ticket. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes, that's the way CX prints tickets, but it's never bothered me.

Up until recently, most tickets issued listed the cc used when printed on paper tickets.

What's so difficult in having your cc on the tickets?

It'd only be a problem if it had the expiry date and security number as well. In any case, if there was a problem, you just ring the cc company and lodge a dispute.

I have had my CC details stolen before....although I was covered it was still a PITA convincing the bank I hadnt actually authorise the charges...so I prefer to err on the side of caution

agree with OP. you dunno where the ticket with your CC number ends up, and its trivial to find the matching expiry month/year. of course, the more relevant issue is why CX needs to list the CC number in the first place ?

They used it to match my internet booking to make sure it was the correct card.
What if I purchased a ticket for someone else?

Personally this is rarely a problem since I issue through a TA, but even when I book myself I don't think this is a problem.

I don't worry about it because it's not my money that may be stolen; it's the CC company's money. It should not be a hassle to deny payment of fraudulent charges, and in my experience, it has never been. This is the peace of mind you pay for when you use a CC.

I have a paper ticket right now - printed by my TA - AA ticket (001 number). It has my entire CC number AND the expiry date (thought not the security code).

Interesting... always thought they paid the airline and then you would pay them.

Anyway, how would I know. My TA only sends out bills monthly, and doesn't take CCs.

Well you may not have experienced since your TA doesn't take CCs, but when paying for flight tickets, the cc charge always appears as the airline not the TA - at least for me it does.

This is extremely dangerous and may easily lead to identity theft. I sure don't want anyone to know when I will be out of town, where I will be, and to have my CC # and expiration date. [Let's run up B. Boppers tab-he's out of town and won't be back for six weeks].

Putting a CC # on a purchase receipt (here the receipt is the ticket) is illegal in most of the US and certainly in California. If you bought your ticket in Calif. or the states, let me know. This could be interesting.

I am in CA the agent who issued is I think in OH.

Paper tickets issued by TAs on any airline still show CC numbers on the valid coupons (ie coupons that the airline will uplift) but not on the passenger copy or the invoice/receipt.
