I didn't get an alert for ANY offline purchases. Only the online purchases and those SMS text alerts come instantly. Looking more into that as this could change our review. The only difference in the type of card is that it is Chase Business, not sure if that makes a difference. Have not tried setting up SMS or email alerts on the Chase online side. No problems asking, we encourage discussion in the comments, also your questioning alerted us to a possible bug to report to the Visa Mobile development team. We'll report a summary here when received. @L Now that you ask. I didn’t get an alert for ANY offline purchases. Only the online purchases and those SMS text alerts come instantly.

One more time, if you don't mind ... does the alert happen right away even for non-online (Internet) purchases? I'm really wondering how come you get your alerts right away, but my email and SMS alerts from Chase (not using the Android app) take a day or two. If it does work for you for online and physical purchases, I wonder if it's the particular kind of Chase card that you have. If you set up SMS or email alerts on your Chase account using the standard way, not using the Android app, do you also get instant notifications? Sorry if I'm being repetitive here. I just think real instant notifications is a HUGE difference vs getting them a day later, so I'd be really interested in this if Chase got it working. Thanks! Thanks for the info.

Also, I did receive a promotional insert via mail (but already downloaded and reviewed the app before receiving it) ;-) Yes the SMS includes the retailer name. If you set the app you give you alerts, it will appear in the notification bar as well to launch the app for full details. I have mine turned off so I wont get 2 alerts; SMS and Notification bar. (Here's is a partial screenshot from the chompSMS review, we will take a screenshot and attach it to this review) http://www.androidtapp.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/chompsms-conversations.jpg Says "Your card CRD72 was used online at GOOGLE in GOOGLE.COM/CH US for USD 25.00 purchase. To opt out of alerts and offers, text STOP." Strange your Chase card didn’t work… but I guess that’s why they include the disclaimer “select Visa partners”.

I have email alerts setup with Chase, and it seems to take a day or two before it shows up. Unfortunately, the Android app doesn't seem to work with my Chase card (which is unusual since my card just says "Chase", and is not a partner or retailer card, afaik), so I haven't been able to try it. Does the SMS include the merchant that you used it with? Does it go directly into the app, or do you get it in your SMS inbox? That’s great.

But in my experience, it's been instant. As soon as I get done with purchases, I get a SMS text with details like where the puchase took place, if the card was physically used for not and how much was spent. Launching the app shows the full details. I assume that’s to account for some lag in the alerts. But in my experience, it’s been instant.
