The physical card was so frequently required in situations where no invitation card was received at check-in that I am surprised when I hear anyone say that he has never encountered a need for a physical card before. Many such examples I have experienced personally, all over Africa, and in less-traveled places in Asia. This was in addition to my status being printed on a boarding card. It was also, however, pre-Covid, so I hope the requirement for a physical card is no longer in effect.
