I love a feature that Capital One has where every time I use my card I get a push notification. It's useful for drive thru's where I make sure I was charged the correct amount.
What other cards have this feature? Besides Apple Card...
I have a PNC Cash Rewards Visa (formerly BBVA), Sephora Visa, BJ's MC, BECU Visa, and the fancy BrightWay+ from One Main Financial.
I'm open to applying for a new card (My Fico's are between 710-730) and this is a major deciding factor. I love the instant push notifications.
Please advise
Typically those notifications may be tied into the their App so if you've downloaded the mobile app, notifications are likely an option to turn on.
I would also add that they all don't seem to be as "timely" as say Chase or Cap 1. Some of mine...while on...don't show up for hours or even a day.

I'm pretty sure you can set alerts like that for almost every credit card from almost every financial institution. And you can usually choose whether you want it as a text, an email, or both.

All of the cards in my sig do it. I've used a combination of alerts for years, starting with e-mail notifications then adding push and/or text alerts. I set all of my cards to alert for ANY purchase, no matter how small, so I'm aware of any potential fraud. Look at each of your card's mobile apps and see if they offer alerts and, if so, which type(s). You may want to use a combo like I do, so I have all my bases covered! When I'm home, I'm most likely glued to my laptop, so e-mail alerts are most handy (I ONLY do e-mail on my computers, not mobile devices), but when I'm out, push and/or text alerts are better since I always have my phone with me.

Discover does I know for sure
Like said above a lot of cards offer this in the settings of the account or with the phone app, but also a lot of Visa cards can do this and you can sign up for it through them directly at this link:

@TattnallTrio I have the OneMain Financial Brightway card too. I love it. Regarding push notifications, Brightway just began offering this service. I just received an invitation to activate the new push notifications today when I logged into my account. I accepted.
