Makes me feel bad that I bother to shred all my sensitive junk mail but the information I use to book a flight gets blasted publicly all over the internet. Yet again why I will never feel bad “taking advantage” of airlines/hotels/financial companies

Chase uses Expedia for the Travel Portal. Would be bad if you couldn’t book United through Chase

Big-name travel apps may secretly record your iPhone screen, including credit card info – https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/6/18214578/apple-iphone-ios-session-replay-apps-recording-screen-hotel-travel

Includes Air Canada, Singapore Airlines, Expedia, Hotels.com, Abercrombie & Fitch and sister brand Hollister, and apparently quite a few other companies’ apps which I couldn’t find a full list of.

Wonder what this means for me since SunTrust has me blacklisted but I currently have a BB&T account. Probably nothing. Might want to keep it open through the merger instead of closing early. Not sure.
