Use Control Preferences to tell us which transactions should be approved.

- Select Controls & Alerts then Control Option and follow the prompts
Control Preferences fall into four categories: Locations, Merchant Types, Transaction Types and Spend Limits.
You must enable a category to access the controls associated with it. Enable a control if you want that type of transaction to be approved. For example, if you don’t enable “Grocery” in the “Merchant Controls” type, your card cannot be used in a supermarket.
Each time your card is used for a transaction, your Control Preference settings are checked against the purchase to determine if it should be approved or denied.
