i find this requirement a nuisance,the cc companies exercised stringent measures to ensure that all cc users are thoroughly 'screened' and authenticated be4 approvals
why must MAS imposed such measures to the detriment of passengers?
MAS is not the only airline to impose this. Lufthansa & Korean Airlines also have this clause in their T&C. Lufthansa and Korean Airlines (talking from personal experience) have executed this T&C when I checked in at the airport.
BTW ... if you are referring to cc companies in Malaysia - Yes, the security measures are fairly stringent but MAS (similar to all airlines) have customers from all over the world. Not all cc providers practice the same stringent approvals as the banks in Malaysia. The risk of fraud remains valid and no such thing as 100% assurance from 0% fraud that despite the security measures.
The T&C exist to protect against fraud from its customers and they can exercise it if they want to.
Read : They can exercise it if they want to at any point of time.
You guys are jumping at MAS for no apparent reason. I hope you guys not to be too quick to form a judgement.
