Travel to USA - do I need to show the credit card?
score:4
If the "3rd party travel agent" is actually a bricks & mortar travel agency you visited to book the ticket, then the form of payment is considered "verified".
If the "3rd party travel agent" is an online travel agency or booking service, then the form of payment is subject to being verified.
Lots of posters will reply with the old "didn't happen to me therefore it doesn't happen" reply, but it has happened to me and I have had to buy a replacement when I didn't have my card, so the risk DOES exist. That said it is primarily an issue in third world and developing nations, not places like the EU, USA, etc.
Ways to deal with it, if you have the card still, you can simply show it. Most systems have the agent enter part of the card number then the computer verifies it (often the third set of digits), the card doesn't need to be active. If Air France has an office near where you live, you can go there and get your ID checked and form of payment verified in advance. If you no longer have your card, take the statement that shows the charge for the ticket along with your personal details.
