I know when i used to work the ticket counters, we had to verify the card if the e-ticket was bought within the past 48 hours. If it was bought more than 48 hours from when travel starts, it wasn't necessary, though. I had parents come out to the airport to show their card, so their kids could fly home from college and whatnot. But it's only that one time. On your return it isn't needed. Strange that they need it every time? can't imagine why?
