Re: Showing credit card to Singapore Airlines

SIA are inconsistent I did not have to show my card last trip (oct 09) but previous 2 trips they did ask for it.

Re: Showing credit card to Singapore Airlines

If you are renewing the credit card take that, and the expired one to check in when you fly. Email Singapore airlines well in advance and tell them what you intend to do.
