Of course not, it's a corp card with a whole different set of rules, many of which are travel allowances. And lets exercise some logic here. If you live one place and transactions are occurring at another, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you are not home. If a customer service rep a 1000 miles from where you are (if not off shore) wanted to target your home while you are away, they already have all the information they need. The letting them know thing is to prevent your card from being cut off in a pre-emptive measure. That's all. It's not an invitation for a raid on your home. In your case it's a moot point if you are using a corp card so you don't have a dog in this fight.
excuse me (and your ill assumptions)....
i DO have a DOG in this fight....I do have (personal) responsibility & liability for my corp card and for your information i also use my personal card(s) when traveling on biz (for items that are not expense-able)...ive NEVER gotten a call from my bank when traveling (on biz).
again its NO ONE's business to know when or how long i am traveling.
They already know - or at least they know where the card is. They just don't block you for it. So in that sense it isn't an issue for you. For some others it is. The phone call is not an alert that you are travelling per se, they can already determine that the card is on the move by the activity, it's a request not to block your account for it because you are justifying it. But you aren't telling them anything they don't already know. Unless of course you are not using your card - but then that's back to being a moot point.
