Incorrect form of payment on CX ticket
My wife and I are traveling on CX DCA-JFK-HKG-MNL this weekend on paper tickets that we got from a travel agent. I just noticed that the ticket says that we payed cash for them, but we actually used a credit card. I asked my travel agent about it and she said the ticket is wrong but don't worry about it.
I've read that you're likely to be picked as a selectee for secondary security screening if the form of payment for your ticket was cash. Having been a selectee before (after having bought two one way tickets instead of a multi- city ticket), I'd like to avoid the hassle and extra time involved if I can. I guess there's not much I can do if my agent doesn't feel it's worth correcting.
Any thoughts?

I think cash payment used to trigger SSSS but not anymore. At least from my experisnce.

I paid by CC and when my ticket printed it actually had my CC number in the form of payment field which I was not to happy about. I spoke to CX and got the ticket re-issued and under form of payment it changed to "reissue" or something similar as the form of payment was now the previous ticket. Perhaps if you are worried about it you could request the ticket to be re-issued.
