Chase has sent out an e-mail to cardholders that currently receive alters for international charges or non-physical charges starting on February 17, 2026. The full text is as follows:
We’re writing to let you know that we’re retiring alerts you’re signed up for. You’ll no longer receive either of these alerts for any of your credit card accounts starting February 17, 2026:
- International charge posted
- Online, phone or mail charge authorized
Chase helps safeguard your credit card purchases using sophisticated fraud monitoring. We monitor for fraud 24/7 and will text, email or call you if we detect unusual purchases on your credit card.
You’ll continue to receive your other enrolled alerts through your preferred delivery methods.
As a reminder, you can set an alert that notifies you if a card transaction is higher than the limit you set. You can adjust your alert settings any time, including how they’re delivered, whether through text, email, and/or mobile push.
Visit chase.com/alerts and choose “Get started” to view or manage your alerts.
Don’t really understand this decision from Chase, surely the charges from these alerts must be minimal compared to any fraud prevented. You can set it up so you get an alert for any charge of over $0.00 but not everybody wants to be alerted regarding every transaction.
