Simple ways your mobile banking app can help make travel easier
Mobile banking can help you plan trips and even lighten your stress load on the road. In fact, the Chase Mobile® app can work with you at every stage of your trip: from seeding the idea to heading back home. You could think of it as your Chase travel buddy. Useful features include safety measures, alerts and even ways to use points for booking a trip. Let’s explore how the Chase Mobile® app could become your best travel-planning partner.
What is a credit card travel notice?
Credit card travel notices were once synonymous with alerts you sent to your credit card company to let them know you’re traveling and that your charges may not be similar to your everyday purchases. Customers could (and still can at some banks) send this notification by phone, through email or on the bank’s mobile app. But now, many banks, including Chase, no longer require travel notices from customers.
Setting up alerts on Chase Mobile® app?
You can choose from several available alerts. For example, Chase offers alerts for the following account events:
- Transactions of many kinds
- Balance transfer or payment postings
- Low balance (according to your chosen setting)
- Available credit limit
- Payment due dates
You can set up your alerts in a few simple steps on your mobile device:
- Sign into the Chase Mobile® app
- Click "Profile & settings," and tap "Alerts"
- Select "Choose alerts" then pick the account you wish to include
- Customize options under "Delivery methods"
- Hit “Save” and now you're enrolled
It’s also up to you how you'd like to receive these alerts: either by email or text. Delivery of alerts may be delayed for various reasons, including service outages affecting your phone, wireless or internet provider; technology failures; and system capacity limitations.
How to book travel in the Chase Mobile® app
The Chase Mobile® app can also help plan and book your trip from the very start with eligible Chase credit cards with Ultimate Rewards. When you get an urge to travel, check out the Benefits tab. You’ll find it by navigating to the bottom of the app. Once there you can explore Travel and Chase Ultimate Rewards®. Let’s run through how that can work for you.
