Ratings and Reviews

Slowly improving but missing the point.

Many customers have mentioned the need for a temporary card locking feature, instead the new feature has a permanent card block that comes with a new card replacement fee. I think you can do better, and include notifications within the app instead of emails.

Do i need to notify a credit card company when traveling.

If you have planned travel coming up, alerting your credit card issuers about your vacation plans can help to ensure that your charges aren't declined when you arrive. Here's how you can prepare yourself and your credit card for your next trip.

What is a credit card travel notice?

A travel notice is an alert to your credit card issuer that you'll be going on a trip to a different location. By giving this notice in advance, you're letting your credit card company know that you may be making charges from a different state or country.

Why should you notify your credit card company  of travel?

Credit card companies check cardholders' accounts for any unusual or suspicious activity when a transaction occurs. If your company sees a charge from a location away from home, your issuer may think this is suspicious activity and decline the charge. If you're visiting a country or location where fraudulent charges occur more often, the chances of your credit card getting declined are higher when you don't alert your credit card issuer about your travel.

Do you need to notify your credit card  company?

You're not required to notify your credit card company when you're going away on vacation, but it is highly recommended. By letting your credit card company know where you're going and for how long, your company will know that any card transactions from that location were likely authorized by you. Check with your credit card issuer to see if they have travel notification capabilities.

Traveling outside your city

If you're traveling to an area not far from home, it's unlikely that any credit card charges will be declined, so setting a travel notification may not be a necessity.

Traveling outside your state

As you travel further from home, the chance of charges being declined is higher. If you're visiting another state, you can notify your credit card company that you're going away to avoid any hassles as you travel.

Traveling outside your country

You should definitely consider filing a travel notice for every trip outside your country. If you don't file a travel alert with your card issuer, your credit card may get declined and you might need to contact your credit card company to approve your transactions. If you're in a different country you may have trouble with making an international call, an inconvenience that can prevent you from authorizing your charge and enjoying your trip.

Which credit cards require a travel notice?

Not all credit card companies recommend that you set a travel notice before you go away, including those with EMV chips that may provide added security when you travel. If your credit card doesn't have an EMV chip, you should contact your bank before you leave to make sure your trip goes smoothly.

Multiple credit cards

If you own multiple credit cards, you should set travel notifications for each of the cards you plan to use on vacation. Even if you plan to use one of the cards only in case of emergency, set a travel alert for it just in case.

Risks of not filing a credit card travel notice

If you don't give your credit card issuer a travel notice, the company won't know that you'll be making purchases in a new location. If the company starts to see charges on your credit card from a different state or country, it may flag these transactions as fraud. The credit card issuer may then put your account on hold and prevent you from making any purchases until you can authorize the charges.

Once a credit card is declined, the cardholder has to call the issuer or provide an app verification in order to prove that the purchase made was authorized. You may have difficulties contacting your bank for various reasons, such as if your vacation spot has bad cell service or if you didn't set up international calling for your phone plan. Notifying your credit card company before you leave on vacation will help you avoid this hassle.

How to notify your credit card company of travel

You can notify your credit card issuer about your vacation over the phone, online, through a mobile app or in person. You can also contact your credit card issuer to get a better understanding of how to set a travel notice.

Setting your travel notice online or through a mobile app

Setting your travel notification online or through an app can be easier than speaking with customer service, depending on your preferences. Log into your account on your credit card company's website or app and search for “travel notice" options. If you're unable to find where to set your travel notice, get in contact with your credit card issuer.

Setting your travel notice over the phone or in-person

To set a travel alert for your credit card over the phone, call the number on the back of your card to get in touch with your bank. The customer service line will either let you speak to a representative on the phone or work with an automated system. If you have any questions or concerns about your travel notice, calling your credit card company is a good method to set the notification.

If you want to set your travel notice in person, go to your nearest branch to meet with a representative. Meeting face-to-face gives you the chance to ask any questions you might have.

How to complete a bank of america travel notice online.

by The Travel Sisters | Mar 12, 2017 | Credit Cards | 1 comment

One of the things I do before I travel, is to let my banks that issued my credit or ATM cards know that I will be traveling abroad.  While you can call your bank, some banks make it easy to quickly notify them of your travel plans online. Fortunately, Bank of America has an online travel notification form which makes it really easy to let them know of your travel plans.

When Should You Notify Bank of America of Your Travel Plans?

According to BofA, a travel notice can be set no more than 60 days prior to departure and can last for up to 90 days from the first day of your trip. Also, you can only have one travel notice set at a time.

While I usually complete travel notifications only when traveling internationally, the form also allows you to notify Bank of America when traveling to another state in the US. If you will be charging a lot of things on your credit card, it does not hurt to take a minute to complete the form.

How to Set Up a Bank of America Travel Notification Online 

Log into your bankofamerica.com account and hover your mouse over “Help & Support” on the top right.

You will see a few options – click on “Set Travel Notice” and the Travel notification form will come up.

If you click on “Help & Support” you can reach the travel notification form either by clicking on “Set Travel Notice” under  “Common Topics” or by clicking under “Travel Information”:

Complete, the Travel Notice form. You can complete the form for either domestic travel or international travel. The form even has a box where you can provide details of your trip.

While some people don’t notify their banks before travel and they don’t have any issues, I always make sure to complete an online travel notification form online.  It only takes a minute and it is worth it to avoid getting your credit card declined in a foreign country.

Hello this Ysabel and Francisco Collado, we’re going to Europe and want to know we’re we can use atm in Rome to withdraws euro. Also let you guys know we’re goin away.

How to Set Up a Chase Travel Notice (And Why You Should Do It) [2021]

If you’re traveling outside of the country soon you probably want to consider putting travel notices on the Chase credit cards or debit cards that you want to use. If you don’t do that then you run the risk of your cards not working properly abroad and you’ll have to deal with that frustration, which is no fun when traveling.

So avoid the frustration and set your Chase travel notices following these easy steps broken down below.

How to Set Up a Chase credit card travel notice

It’s very easy to set up a travel notice for your Chase credit card and bank account. You can set up a travel notice over the phone, via the Chase App, or simply do it online — whichever is more convenient. However, I would recommend doing it online because it is so easy.

Tip: Use the free app WalletFlo to help you travel the world for free by finding the best travel credit cards and promotions!

Setting up the notification by phone

If you’re looking for the Chase travel notification number, just call the number on the back of your credit card or debit card.

I’ve made calls from the plane as I’m boarding and Chase handled pretty quickly so it usually doesn’t take the agents very long to put the notification on.

If you’re ever outside of the US you can call Chase collect number at: 1-302-594-8200

Setting up the Chase travel notification online

To set up a Chase credit card or debit card travel notice, it only take a few steps.

The first thing that you need to do is log-in to your Chase account. Once you are logged in, click on “Account management” and then click “Profile and settings.” This will all be found at the top of your screen as pictured below.

Once you are in profile and settings, now you want to click on “Account settings” and then click on “Travel.” To begin the process of adding a travel notification, simply click on “Add a trip.”

At the next screen, you will need to enter some basic information regarding your travels. This information includes the destination, the departure date, and the return date.

Your departure date can be as far as one year out. But n ote that the return date must be within 90 days of your departure date. You can choose different countries or you can even choose specific states within the US for your destination.

Once you click next, you will be asked to add the travel notification to specific cards.

You can choose to add the travel notification to only one or a few cards or you can select to add the travel notification to all of your cards. You can also choose to add a travel notification to a debit card so that your bank account has the travel notification on it as well.

Something that is cool about this screen is that it will tell you whether or not your cards have foreign transaction fees.

If they don’t have foreign transaction fees, that means that you won’t be charged extra to process a transaction in a foreign country. If they do have foreign transaction fees, you will be charged 3% for the transaction. That means that if you make a purchase of $100, you will be charged an extra $3 foreign transaction fee.

If you want a solid credit card that does NOT have foreign transaction fees look into getting the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which comes with a 60,000 point bonus after meeting the minimum spend requirements of $4,000 within the first 3 months.

This is worth over over $1,000 if you use points for premium airfare redemptions!   Find out more details about this card here.

Once you click to move onto the next step, you will then be able to verify your travel notification and submit it.

Setting up the Chase travel notification online (old interface)

If you are somehow still working with the old Chase interface, then the directions below will apply to you. Log in to your Chase account and click on “Customer Center.” In the Credit Card section, you’ll see “Travel Notification Form” which you’ll need to click on.

That will take you to the first step of the travel notification process.

Enter Information

You can submit your travel notifications no more than 365 days before you depart.

Your return date must be no more than 365 days after your departure date. If you plan to travel longer than 365 days, you can extend your travel notification with them by updating the form before your original date of return.

When you begin to enter your information, you should see the full roster of credit card that you have with Chase. In my case, I have six credit cards with Chase.

The travel notification will be put on all of the credit cards.

All you have to do is enter in your date of departure and date of return and enter in your destinations. Chase requests that you input cities for the destination, and I’m not sure if it will work if you enter countries.

Verify your information

Next, all you have to do is verify your credit card information and your travel dates and destinations.

Once you do that you’ll move forward and confirm the notification.

Chase bank travel notice

If you need to put a travel notification on for your bank account (debit card, ATM, etc.), you can use the method above if you have the new Chase interface and simply select your debit card. But if you are still working with the old interface, the process is a little bit different.

You’ll notice in the image below that you click on a different section of the website to initiate the travel notice for a checking or savings account.

Security Check

When you first try to put on your travel notifications you’ll likely be stopped and asked to verify your identity. This is done by sending either a text message or a phone call to one of your phone numbers on record.

The code should arrive within two minutes (mine arrived instantly) and you should be able to enter in the activation code and verify your identity quickly.

Once you’ve done that you’ll be taken to the International Travel Notifications screen where you can choose which cards you want to apply the travel notification to (debit, ATM, liquid cards, etc.)

You’ll also need to choose a destination and then also choose a departure date and a return date.

One of the big differences with the bank account notifications is that your travel must be within 14 days. 

When you click on Select destination countries a small window will pop-up where you can add the countries.

Note that you can only select up to 10 countries.

To set up a travel notification for a country that’s not in the country list, call the phone number on the back of your card and inquire with Chase about that country.

Once you’ve selected your countries, you can advance to the next step where you’ll need to verify your details. You’ll see the debit card the notification is going to apply to along with the travel period and where you’re traveling to.

Tip: Use WalletFlo for all your credit card needs. It’s free and will help you optimize your rewards and savings!

Do you need travel notifications?

Some people think that travel notifications are a waste because they are able to travel without any difficulties. But don’t fall into this trap.

Just because you didn’t have any hiccups on a trip, that doesn’t mean that other trips will be like that.

I highly recommend always putting on travel notifications.

You never know what kind of inconvenient experience might await you if you don’t bother with putting on the notifications. Since it’s so easy to add them, I really see no reason why you wouldn’t do it.

One thing that’s interesting about Chase is that if you start to do a lot of international travel, they will pick up on your travel habits. It’s not clear to me exactly how many trips are necessary, but once you start taking a lot of trips, you might not even need to put on travel notifications.

After about a year of travels, I called in to put in a travel notification for Belize one time and I was told that I no longer needed to provide travel notifications because they were aware of my frequent travel patterns. This has happened to other people in the past as well .

I’m not sure if there’s a way to disable this but I found it very convenient and felt okay with it because I monitor my transactions on a regular basis.

Still, sometimes I’ll call in just to make sure everything is fine before I depart to a foreign country just to be on the safe side. (You never know when these type of policies will be updated, changed, etc.)

Do you need travel notifications for out of state travel?

Regarding domestic travel notifications Chase states:

“No. You don’t need to set up a travel notification if you’re traveling to another state, only when you plan to travel abroad.”

My card has been denied in New York (out of my state) before because of fraud prevention and I had to call in to Chase to authorize the charge. Since, it was not abroad it wasn’t a major issue to make the quick phone call but I could have probably avoided the situation just by putting in a notification.

This is generally more of an issue for larger purchases.

So if you’re planning on spending quite a bit of money in another state or city from where you live, it might be a good idea to just call ahead of time and get them to clear the transaction.

What if your travel notifications don’t work?

If you get caught somewhere and your card is not working, then there’s one simple solution.

You can call the number on the back of your card and speak to the fraud prevention department to allow them to process your transaction. You’ll usually have to re-run the transaction when this happens.

(I usually make international phone calls with Skype for these purposes.)

Certain countries excluded

Chase notes that they “exclude certain countries from our travel notification service due to either fraud protection or to align with certain federal guidelines and restrictions.”

These are often referred to as “at risk” countries.

How will you know if a country is excluded?

You’ll know immediately after you submit your notification if they’ve excluded any of your destinations from this service. If you’re traveling to an excluded country and you need help using your debit, ATM and/or Liquid Card, just call the phone number on the back of your card.

Can you cancel travel notices?

If you set up a notification and then later you change your mind, you can click “Cancel.”

If you need to delete a notification you’ve already set up, click “Delete Travel Notification” and follow the steps on the next screen.

Avoiding foreign transaction fees

Chase offers several credit cards that will allow you to avoid those pesky foreign transactions fees.

Two of my favorite options are the Chase Sapphire Reserve and the Chase Sapphire Preferred . But many of their co-branded credit cards like the World of Hyatt Card and IHG Rewards Club Premier Credit Card don’t have foreign transaction fees, either.

However, some of their no annual fee cards like the Chase Freedom cards come with foreign transaction fees of 3% .

If you’re wanting to avoid ATM fees when traveling abroad, Chase offers the Chase Private Client program.

The program offers:

• No fees at non-Chase ATMs and this even includes international ATMs
• Refunds for ATM fees charged by the ATM owners up to five times per statement period
• No exchange rate adjustment fee for debit card purchases and ATM withdrawals in currencies other than U.S. dollars.
• No Chase fee for all domestic and foreign wire transfers, incoming or outgoing, completed at any Chase branch, chase.com, via telephone or email.

There are a ton of other benefits related to wealth management that the program offers and you read more about Chase Private Client here .

Does the Chase app offer travel notifications?

The Chase app allows you the ability to set travel notifications. To do this, log-in to the app and click on “Profile & Settings” -> “My Settings” -> “Travel” and you will see the options for setting up your travel notices.

You can also still pull up the Chase website on Mobile to enable your travel notifications.

International travel tips

If you are traveling internationally, you might also want to check out my international travel checklist . This runs you through many different things you want to do before heading out on a trip in addition to just setting Chase travel notifications. It’s easy to forget about checking for things like how tipping works, what’s taboo, and other common questions so be sure to check it out.

Setting up Chase travel notices is not difficult and you can do it over the phone, via the app, or online — whichever you feel more comfortable with. You might also be set them up via a secured message but I’ve never given that a try.

One last reminder: always keep a photo copy or make a note of the phone number on the back of your debit or credit card so that you have a phone number you can call to sort out any potential issues and you shouldn’t have any issues.
