My bank checking account allows me to get notifications/alerts for every check or withdrawal activity over a certain amount immediately. My credit card allows frequent balance notifications, but not purchase activities notification. Any recommendations for a credit card with better notification options?

Not exactly what you are asking, but I think you can use yodlee.com, mint.com or pageonce.com and add all of your credit card accounts, then login them once a day to get transactions of all your credit cards. There is typically a 2-day delay though.

Capital One offers this on their website account management. You can go into your alerts and specify an alert when charged over a specified amount. I have mine set to email and my smart phone will pick up the email right away. It has worked pretty good and very quickly every time I have triggered my alert settings.

With Bank of America MasterCard and Visa credit card accounts you can be notified of purchases which exceed a threshold you set (sorry, do not recall minimum threshold setting permitted). Also, you can get alerts when payments are posted to your account, as well.
American Express offers a variety of customized alerts, including this one. I set it up to get a text message of my balance every Saturday before 8 AM.
