PG, an airline I have quite a bit of experience with, typically asks for the card but not always. A few days ago I had a domestic flight which I purchased on the phone just two days before. Fully expecting to be required to show the card I was nontheless able to check in online all the way to a printable BP and at the airport was asked for nothing.

On their website it states that you might be asked for the card. So the maintain leeway in their operations.

As a Premier for the last 2+ years I can probably count on 1 hand the number of times I haven't been asked for the card. As always, YMMV.
