Dear QL buddies,
Could anyone tell me that if I purchase air ticket for my family member using my credit card, then will there be any problem to the passenger as I will not be travelling with him.
Thanks a lot dear friends for your answers, actually I am planning to purchase Etihad Airways Ticket for my mother in law. I hope they will not create any such problem like with Qatar Airways
It's only a problem with Qatar Airways. I've done it many times with other airlines with no problems, but Qatar Airways makes it into a big hassle. For Qatar Airways it is much easier to pay in cash (use your credit card to get the cash). I was amazed that even though Qatar Airways was paid in full by my credit card issuer far in advance of the flight, they still claimed that they needed to "protect" me from buying a ticket for my family.
No idea about other airways, but if Qatar Airways then go to their office and get a form to be filled which mentions that you, the credit card holder have purchased the tickets for someone but will not be travelling with them. Then you sign it and get it stamped by them too. They will then take a copy of your card. The passengers then have to present this form while check in. Then there would be no problem. Thats what i did just a month ago.
You can purchase ticket for your family using your card in any qatar airways office or even ticket for somebody else. If your going to purchase ticket online via qatar airways website using your card, you have to be with the person and show the CC upon check in.
You can purchase airline tickets for somebody else using your credit card. But if you are not travelling with them, you have to visit the airline office to verify your credit card.
Most of of air lines except Qatar Airways do not have problem to purchase ticket even if the credit card holder is not travelling with them. But you have to provide the traveller a photo copy of your credit card

Hi Guys,
I have a bad experience with Qatar Airways Boarding team today.
I purchased ticket thru credit card and verified with their main office after showed my original credit card as I am not travelling with my family.
When my family approach for the boarding pass, they insisted to show original credit card to them again!
I don't understand what policies they are following... Each staff have their own policy, terms...!
Anyway they given trouble some time for my family.
This is just fyi.
Regards

If you book online you must show the credit card at the check in desk. If you buy it from a travel agent there is no problem.
It's never a problem, if they have a problem or concern they will notify / confront you there and then when booking. I do it often!
