The airline charge won't tell them where you are going... My banks have an online tool to inform them of travel plans.

- cromulent 7y agoSure, but back then it was an expensive international phone call to be on hold for 15 minutes and then talk to a person who said: your card was used overseas, looked suspicious. They are costing me money to protect themselves. A good heuristic might be that I spent 2000AUD on Qantas a couple of months ago. And yeah, their ads showed people on the other side of the world using their cards. No mention of this sort of stuff.
- repiret 7y agoI’m not sure that’s true. My credit card statements usually show the route (and maybe the date; I don’t recall) for airfare purchases. The format the statements use has led me to believe it’s more than the airline stuffing that data in the generic string that all transactions have.
