Excessive false positives. If your phone chimes after every store visit you will learn to ignore banking notification SMS/email, including actually suspicious transactions.

- e40 8y agoExcessive false positives I think that is a misuse of the phrase. First, you can have gmail (or whatever mail you use) setup a filter and not notify you. Second, when I'm shopping and get the ding, that's a reassuring sound, not an irritating one. I was able to get a transaction for airline tickets canceled seconds after it was completed, because of the notifications I get. And this was a $2,500+ transaction, too. Not that I would have been on the hook, but my CC company made me jump through many fewer hoops because of how quickly I told them "hey, I'm not in Paris right now, that is fraud"...

If the phone chimes when you're paying, you'll rightfully ignore it. If the phone chimes at any other time, you'll check.
