I can download a card on multiple devices in CardValet, but I'm asked which device is "primary." Why assign a primary device? Can I make changes to the settings from the non-primary devices?

The primary device is used to track the GPS for “My Location” alerts and controls and all merchant and threshold alerts will be sent to the primary device. All devices that have registered a particular card can view or change the CardValet settings for that card. Controls (including the “On/Off” setting) are set at the card level, so the last update to a control will be honored regardless of which phone was used to make the change. Alerts are set at the device level, so each primary device will receive alerts that were set up from that particular device. The primary device can be re-set by accessing “Settings - Primary Device.”

A region has been set on the map in my CardValet app. Does this mean my card can only be used exactly in this region?

The region shows the approximate area where the card can be used. CardValet can typically map the transaction down to a zip code or city.

There are instances where a merchant location cannot be mapped down to a zip code or city, in which case CardValet will default to a state-level match.

If My Location is set in CardValet, but the primary device is off, will transactions be denied outside of the “My Location” area?

CardValet ignores location information that is more than one (1) hour old. So, if your phone is off for more than an hour, My Location controls will not take effect, and the transaction will not be denied on the basis of the old location information.

If I set an alert for international transactions in CardValet and no controls are set, will I get alerts for international transactions regardless of whether the transaction is blocked or successful?

What exactly is the range of the “My Location?” controls in CardValet, and will this control setting impact internet transactions?

The My Location controls and alerts will check to ensure the merchant location is within a five (5) mile radius of the device set as “primary” within CardValet. These controls impact “card present” transactions only, therefore internet transactions are not impacted.

Regarding CardValet, what happens if My Location is set but the phone is left at home? Will transactions be denied outside the My Location area?

CardValet performs a proximity check at the granularity of zip code or city, so if the merchant is close to home, the transactions will still go through.

When is a low balance alert generated in CardValet?

CardValet updates the balance under two conditions: (a) when you log into CardValet and (b) when you tap “Refresh.” Even if the balance has fallen below the threshold that you set, it is only updated when you log into the app or tap “Refresh,” which then triggers the alert.

A threshold limit of $50 has been set in my CardValet app and now I can’t fill gas in some stations. Why?

There are some merchant types where a merchant will pre-authorize the card for an amount that may be larger than the actual transaction amount. In this instance, the pre-authorization amount must meet the threshold spend limit.

A threshold limit of $50 has been set in my CardValet app, but I can fill gas in some stations for more than $50. Why?

CardValet controls are only invoked during authorization of a transaction. In some cases, such as Gas Stations, a card may be tested for validity by doing a $1 pre-authorization, and the actual transaction amount is charged to the card after the transaction. Some gas stations will pre-authorize for a maximum amount, e.g. $126, and some gas stations will check validating, e.g. $1. In the latter case, the actual transaction amount may exceed the limit, while in the former case, an authorization may be denied.

Does the CardValet app show recent transaction history?

Yes, the app shows the last 50 card-based transactions posted within the last 30 days.
