My Chase credit card is set to text me on any charge over $0. I have received alerts for under a dollar.
Also, I have been using a credit card extensively for 20 years, and I don’t take many precautions (other than having text alerts for all purchases). I will put that number anywhere I want to buy something without even thinking about it.
I have had many fraud ATTEMPTS over the years, but I have never once lost money because of it. Having to change my credit card number has been annoying, but I am not sure it has been more annoying than it would be if I had to use a different number for every purchase.
- baseballdork 4y agoI think that this is a totally valid approach. I merely prefer using privacy because it locks a card to a vendor and I can set limits (or simply pause a card) per vendor trivially. In fact, this weekend I got a notice from wilsoncombat that their payment processor had been hacked and card info had been leaked, which I had suspected when I received a notification that a charge ($0.15) had been declined on the card I used with them in March. The charge was declined, and I was able to close that card and not have to redo my card info in every place I have a card linked.
