I now have a great service with my credit card for my online purchases As someone who does a lot of on-line purchasing (including porn, of course), I have always carefully reviewed my credit card bills to avoid false or erroneous charges. Well now my credit card has extended a wonderful new security feature that helps me feel a lot more secure. Every time I make an on-line purchase now, within a few seconds (less than one minute), my credit card sends me a text AND e-mail that a purchase has been made without my physical credit card being present. If anyone tries to make a charge on my card that I have not authorized, I can quickly contact the card company and reject the charge. Just thought to share this so anyone interested can check if this service is available from their credit card company.  Jay G | |

I have cards issued by Chase and B of A. Is either of them your card issuer? My fail safe method is to have a card that I use exclusively for porn and on which I set a very low credit limit ($80). Whenever I buy a membership to a site, I pay the amount charged electronically from my on line bank account. That way an attempted large charge is stopped because it's over limit. That has happened once or twice a year. But I would much prefer the notification process you describe. | |

The one I use is for my porn US Bank. I started paying my bills on-line and looking around their web-site found I had these security options I didn't even know about. I clicked on the "text and e-mail me when my account is used without my card being present" buttons and that was it. Now every time I make an INTERNET purchase my blackberry rings and I see the text message about the purchase in about ten seconds. When I check my e-mail, I also have the same message repeated there. It really takes a lot of the worry about false charges away for me since I know I can challenge a false charge within moments of its being made. Jay G | |

Thanks Jay. I called Chase about this feature and, lo and behold, they also have it. The sign-up option is buried in their security page but it's there. For those who have a Chase card and who use online banking, go to your account summary screen, find Customer Center then Account Alerts. There you will find the various email alert options, among them an email alert for on-line/phone charges. This is a terrific feature that all credit card issuers should promote. Again thanks Jay for bringing this up. | |

Just curious Jay G, my card number was stolen once a while ago, and the folks used the number at a drugstore - I guess an employee let them type the number in, would this result in a warning as well? The card is not physically present after all. After that experience I have decided to either use temporary cards or the virtual cards which card companies provide, but this might be a good solution as well.
