Its common mainly for Asia main carriers if you purchase ticket online and pay with credit card. The LCC such as Air Asia or JetStar never check cc.
Below are excerpts from CC requirements for some major airlines in Asia :

Cathay Pacific FAQ

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.

If the credit card used is renewed with a new card number by the credit card issuer between the time of ticket purchase and time of verification, please retain and present the original credit card for verification.

EVA Air

You are required to present the credit card used to purchase the ticket during check-in at the airport. For identification at the check-in counter, you must use a credit card with the card number and name stamped into it. You are required to input your first name and last name exactly as displayed on the credit card. Passengers who fail to do so will be denied boarding unless they purchase a full-fare ticket at the airport ticket counter.

Singapore Airlines Ticketing

For non-redemption bookings, your credit/debit card will need to be presented during check-in or ticket collection for purpose of verification.
What should I do if my credit/debit card expires before I commence my travel?
Before your credit card expires, please bring your credit card to the nearest Singapore Airlines Ticketing office to have it verified. You will then no longer be required to present your credit card during check-in.

Thai Airways Ticketing

Passengers who have used their own credit card or Visa/MasterCard debit card for purchase of the ticket must also present their payment card together with their personal identification (photo ID or passport) during check-in. Please note that the name and number on the payment card must be spelled exactly identical to the name on the identification card or passport.
