I agree that it is a good feature to use. But, all credit cards do not have it. The PenFed.org card doesn't have it. Also, some cards have the feature, but only send a text when the transaction goes from "pending" to "completed", which may be several days after you made the transaction. Not good enough. So, you need to verify that the credit card has the feature you want before establishing a new account.
