- dandandan 10y agoDid you buy the ticket with your American Express card? The data transmitted by the merchant (airline) includes some basic itinerary information.
- tedmiston 10y agoThat would be awesome if the CC provider automatically created a travel notification for you upon booking.

- saryant 10y agoAmex already takes this into account.
- tomp 10y agoNo, I haven't, that's exactly the point! And I think that's the first transaction I've made in the US..
