Llama and Lamb

I noticed that one of my credit card companies, Chase, as added an alerts sidebar to the left of the “My Accounts” page. This shows upcoming activities at a glance.

There have been additions to the alerts page also. You can now be alerted when your reward points exceed a certain amount. I have mine set to 5000 points or a $50 check. This means you don’t have to check your reward balance regularly which is even more convenient if you have have multiple credit cards.

My favorite alerts to be emailed to me:

A payment has been posted to this account.
My payment is due in [3] days.
My rewards balance exceeds [5000] Points.
No payment was received for this account.

And because the last one, no payment was received for this account, is so important. I have this one sent to my mobile via SMS. Thankfully, that hasn’t happen yet.
