Not a big issue, especially as it is something that one will have, but important to have this ready with the credit card and Executive Club card.
Apologies if I have missed a post or thread with this information.
Yes, this is a new proceedure due to so many people using someone else's card.
The name on the passport has to match the name on the card and hopefully it will reduce the fraud and make the passenger more traceable.
