Default Be aware not all alerts work the same
Bank of America sends an alert when it posts not when it is pending the time difference can be days. I spent 6 hours going through various levels of supervisors and departments and finally got someone who had them fix the glitch in their code. 6 months later they did an update to their system and it is back sending alerts on posted instead of pending again. So I don't use them anymore for around town only for my preauthorized charges I have set up. I use another card for around town and when I travel and have had the number changed by the card company due to fraud charges 7 times in the last year. It is getting ridiculous.
