I am actually getting tired of this, I trust Delta to fly me from point A to point B but they can't trust me after 25+ flights using the same credit and debit cards multiple times. It's every single flight to SDQ no matter if I just paid 10 cents or 1000 dollars for the ticket they ask for a credit card verification. To me, it's borderline discrimination. I can understand 1 or 2 times if they really need to verify my card but 15+ times.

Tomorrow I have a flight I was planning to get there an hour before and can't do that because I can't check in.

I tried JetBlue, I tried United and I tried American this year and neither asked me to verify my credit card and I fly them less than I do Delta, and the only reason I haven't switched to United or American is I just don't like them.

Why should I have to use a 3rd party travel agent for Delta not to consider me a risk? I've been a SkyMiles member for over 10 years not once has there been an issue with my form of payments.
The issue is that SDQ has a high rate of fraud. Just like tickets bought ex-South Africa. Each merchant bank imposes different requirements.

Buying from a TA means the TA is on hook for a chargeback, not DL.
