I fly this a lot. I think part of the reason may be that they kept getting arguments/meltdowns at the counter when they charged people.

Agents were always incredibly relieved when I just pulled out my card and said "I know."

(That said, they pulled my GPU, didn't get me onto the list after checkin, and I'm still waiting for it to come back.)
