The Trouble with VISA e-mail alerts

We are getting ready to pay the bill at the Alta Ski Area medical clinic (they are seasonal, so don't bill insurance, but expect payment at time of service) and I hand Brian the VISA card so he can run it and sign the receipt. As he brings it back to me I remember that Mary has the VISA account set up so that any time there is a charge it sends her an e-mail listing the charge and location.

"Great, Mom will now know if she looks at her e-mail that we're at a medical facility. Brian, it's time to call your mom and let her know I've been injured in a ski accident."

Glad I realized before she found it on her own.
