If I am traveling outside the U.S., can I receive text message alerts?

Answer

Messages can only be sent via U.S. carriers and will only be receivable in the U.S. If a transaction is flagged as suspicious we will send a text but it may not be received while you are outside of the U.S. Some messages on U.S. carriers may be received while traveling; however, it will depend on that carrier’s coverage area. It is always a good practice to inform us of your travel plans by calling customer care at 1.866.398.7226 prior to traveling outside of the U.S. Doing so will help avoid having legitimate charges flagged as potentially fraudulent. In some cases, your card may be blocked from further transactions until we are able to contact you.
