Has anyone ever been asked to show a credit card to check in? lol

Only once and it was a BA flight at LGW (almost 20 years ago). Took me by surprise as I couldn’t even remember which card I paid with. I did find the card in question as I carried all my cards back in those days.

But the physical verification is more to combat fraud/crime and it’s a standard statement. I can see it on my regular BA booking so I don’t think it’s to catch you out on your 2-4-1 booking -> surely if they wanted to, they could check this as time of booking.

So if you present your wife’s card it will match the details on the booking and you will be checked-in.
