When I added my American Express card to Apple Pay, it started sending me push notifications for every transaction. It's crazy how fast it is, before I can even put my card back in my pocket my phone buzzes. You see pre-authorizations too, so when you swipe at a gas pump it usually shows a $100 authorization check.

Is that not only for Apple Pay transactions? I'd expect payments made directly w/ Amex wouldn't buzz you.
For Amex, adding the card to Apple Pay will notify you of all transactions.
