Enable credit card purchase notifications

Credit

It’s a great idea to turn on financial account notifications for credit card purchases. I have the threshold set to $0.01.

And for banks that have these account notifications, I also turn on notifications for any account transactions (withdrawals and deposits).

Inspired to share this reminder after reading the post “TIFU by trusting my 13yo with my phone and losing our entire savings ($19k) to Roblox.”

The dad’s card got declined at the gas station and he subsequently learned his kid had charged $6K on the credit card
