Ratings and reviews

I had a hard time enrolling after installing the app. I contacted Card Valet support and it's been 2 weeks without hearing back. I finally was able to get it set up and I can see my card transactions. However, notifications don't work. I have it set up to notify me for everything transaction, but I have never gotten a single notification. Overall, a disappointment.

My bank took a step backwards going to this app from the Ctrl app. Even though I have alerts turned on for all transactions, I never get any alerts like I did with the old Ctrl app. And secondly, Card Valet has a great option you can toggle on that will deny charges if your phone is not in the same vicinity. I turned it on for a few days and it is an absolute battery killer!!! My phone got super hot too - I could feel the heat in my pocket! You can also watch your battery level go down.

No visible notifications! My bank just switched to this app and it doesn't visually notify me when my card was charged/used. I have the notifications turned on. I'll hear a notification bell but when I look at my phone there's nothing there. This isn't helpful especially when I don't always have my sound on. I need to see it. What's the point of this app if I can't see the charge?
