WARNING: eTicket Receipts Print ENTIRE Credit Card Number
On Tuesday (3/7), I checked in and printed an eTicket Receipt at the PMCO Kiosk at PHX.
The receipt prints out my ENTIRE credit card number (the one used to book the ticket). Another change that I like.
Just a word of warning for those that chose to print one.
Also, I tried both the PMUA and PMCO check-in kiosks. The PMCO ones were significantly quicker. The PMUA ones were very slow. Perhaps the PMUA kiosks (known affectionately as the chickens) have less processing power than the PMCO ones.

So they only show part of our MP #'s in the emails, but they'll print a receipt with the full CC #...

That sounds like a bug.
I did think it interesting that when I used the kiosks at SEA to print out a boarding pass, it printed my MileagePlus number as "AB******" (first two characters correct, last six characters asterisks). A boarding pass printed manually by an agent on their side of the ticketing counter contained my entire MileagePlus number.

-- so this issue does not appear to be universal.
