Is this specific to US cards, or all foreign cards? I won’t go near SAA, but I’ve been buying Airlink tickets using a variety of foreign cards (Mauritius, UK, US, UAE, Singapore) and have never had a problem booking, or been asked to provide more information. I bought a ticket with them using a UAE card two weeks ago.

I’ll be buying another soon, and will try a US card to see.
