I fly on e-tickets all the time now, and I don't use my credit card for them. My union has a corporate account with a travel agency, and my tickets are paid for that way. The agency then faxes me my itinerary and receipt.
Somebody else here doesn't even get a fax. The travel agency simply emails him the receipt. He likes it because if he misplaces it before the trip, all he has to do is print off another one.
