Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We do when traveling internationally but not domestically. I seem to recall that Discover called my cell once when we were traveling to verify some charges they were seeing.
Never. Doesn't matter whether travel has been US or international. Never had a problem. If I had to contact every time I traveled on business over 25 years, I would have been on the phone constantly.

Just to be safe I called some of the cc companies. Consistent w/ the responses here, their responses also ranged all over the map. Chase was definitely interested in both dates/locations, even for US travel. Costco AMEX was just interested that there would be travel but didn't particularly care about dates/places if domestic. Cap One, interestingly enough.......the one who had been fussy about a Seattle trip even tho we had previously done that w/ their card........said that they didn't need to be notified for domestic travel because they had modified their procedures due to customer feedback.
I usually never do, but did on my last road trip (mid trip). I had a cc scare when a hotel clerk said that my card was denied (but wasn't). So I talked with the cc rep and he suggested a travel notification. I'll probably do it on future trips - it only took a few minutes.
Yes, and give places and dates of travel.Just curious whether folks notify their credit card company before they travel.
I know you're supposed to do it if you travel internationally but for trips within the US?
Typically we have done that for "real" international trips but not for domestic US or even Canada. However on a relatively recent trip to Seattle, one of the cc companies got a bit sensitive even tho we have done that before even using their card.......so they had a prior history.
Easy enough to call one company but with this card for 3% on this and that card for 5% on that, it's a bit more involved...............
