My bank is very veery careful about that, in the sense of blocking basically all the online purchases I could make because of one compromised account like a decade ago. Except steam. We trust steam, I guess.
They also know I don't leave the state almost ever so I guess they'd shut that down as well. But I'd go to the bank and talk to the office people and they'd fix it before the trip.
My first bank would flag a transaction if I traveled 2-4 hours to the next city, because God forbid I take a damn road trip
At this point my bank would probably do the same tbh. Mostly because 2-4 hours could get me into the next state, depending on direction lol.
That’s interesting about Steam. Steam purchases used to flag my card so much, I ended up telling my bank, “If a purchase goes through Steam, IT’S ME. I don’t have kids, I don’t share my card with anyone. Just let the purchase through. It’s fine.”
I don’t know why Steam in particular kept setting off red flags for them, but damn it was frustrating that they’d lock my card every time I wanted a new game. I mean, I know I should probably not give in to the temptation so much, but my Steam library is bare bones compared to those of other people I know. I’m an adult and if I want to spend my money on games that make me happy, let me do that!
I think because I've bought so much on steam over the years there's just a flag in my account somewhere! They hate other games though. They blocked me purchasing Black Desert Online and I had to go in and say "No no, that was me"
Unrelated, I just want to fist bump, fellow gamer girl!
