Policy is there to prevent credit card fraud. The verification is only done at initial departure, not for subsequent check-ins.
If have book through a TA. It is TA's responsibility to verify your credit card, so the check-in agent won't care.
Many airlines have the same policy, for example, you may want to avoid CX as well.
