TG and PG can require that you present the credit card used to pay for the ticket at check in, to prevent fraud. This is clearly stated on their web site during the booking process. Otherwise, in case of a third party booking with TG, one must contact them in advance and complete a form and get this approved and noted in the pax record.
I have not checked, but does AC make a similar demand for third party bookings?
