Agree w/SanDiego1K and to err on the side of caution.

But for the record, I have never had a problem purchasing numerous tickets for my parents using my credit card. They have never been asked for the card. My parents and I have the same last name so maybe this has something to do w/it?

For me as well, I have been asked for the credit card used to purchase, did not have it on me and have never had a problem either.

Also had to laugh at the paper ticket comment, I do not know if your parents are like mine, but they refuse to fly on an e-ticket as "it's not as good as paper in your hand!!!" (possibly true if you need to switch to another airline). Whenever we travel together, I make them fly on e-tickets, just to make them squirm just a little (evil kid!).
