A few weeks ago I stopped by a local drugstore before my first flight of the year to pick up some Vanilla Reloads with a new credit card. It was going to be a great purchase before the flight until one problem occured, the purchase was denied. Has this ever happened to you? If it does, depending on the credit card issuer, you can have the issue instantly resolved with this one smart phone app.
Just watch the video below to learn how downloading the Amex Mobile app can help you instantly resolve any purchase disruption.

I didn’t know about this at the time and had to run to catch my flight. So I didn’t have time to give the card issuer a call to approve the purchase. Instead, they called me on the way to the gate and actually told me about the app. Then they even sent a followup email letting me know how I could receive an instant alert with steps on how to resolve the purchase disruption.

Is there something like this for Chase? I had a successful transaction yesterday for VR #1, then #2 was denied. I waited for a bit for a Fraud Alert text and/or e-mail, which never came. I suspect now i’ll have to call up Chase and confirm it was an authorized transaction. I did log into the Chase mobile app, but didn’t see anything related to this. Doh!
I think Citi has something like this. They text you when you try to make a big purchase and you just reply ‘Y’ and it will go through the second time. Kind of embarrassing when it gets denied the first time, but cool, when you text them and the transaction goes through the second time.
