An authorization system allows for cardholder-provided parameters to a personal authorization subsystem. The parameters can be selected by the cardholder to limit the authorizations that would otherwise be granted on the card. The parameters can indicate limits by frequency, dollar amount, merchant, geographic location, time of day, combinations thereof, or the like. Authorization for a given transaction, even where authorized by an issuer and a network operator, might be denied based on self-constraints set by the cardholder. In some variations, messages are sent to the cardholder based on constraints set by the cardholder and transactions might be approved and messaged, or denied and messaged.

What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: an authorization subprocessor configured to deny a transaction based on a plurality of user selected authorization parameters and constraints, wherein the denial of the transaction is independent of the transaction being approved or denied by an issuer; an authorization parameter table database coupled to the authorization subprocessor; and a web server database interface coupled to the authorization parameter table database, wherein the web server database interface is configured to be in communication with a browser, wherein the browser allows a user to select a combination of authorization constraints from a plurality of authorization constraints, and allows the user to select specific authorization parameters associated with the selected authorization constraints, wherein the selected authorization constraints and the selected authorization parameters are used by the authorization subprocessor to determine whether or not the transaction is authorized. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of authorization constraints comprises at least two of the following: (i) a day of the week that a purchase is made, (ii) a time of day that the purchase is made, (iii) a merchant category, (iv) a transaction limit, and (v) a cash advance. 3. The system of claim 1 further comprising the browser operatively coupled to the web server database interface. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the specific authorization parameters include listings of selectable values from which the user may select the specific authorization parameters. 5. The system of claim 1 wherein the specific authorization parameters include listings of selectable values from which the user may select the specific authorization parameters, the selectable values including specific predetermined amounts of money or days of the week. 6. The system of claim 1 wherein the transaction is a credit card transaction. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein the browser is additionally allows the user to select an activity report or notification option for notifying the user of purchases made. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the authorization parameter table database stores at least two sets of authorization constraints and parameters for the user. 9. A method comprising: receiving at a web server database interface and from a browser in communication with the web server database interface, a user selection of a combination of authorization constraints from a plurality of authorization constraints; receiving at the web server database interface, user selections of specific authorization parameters associated with the user selected constraints; and storing the user selected authorization constraints and the user selected authorization parameters in an authorization parameter table database, wherein an authorization subprocessor uses the user selected authorization constraints and the user selected authorization parameters to determine if a conducted transaction is authorized or not. 10. The method of claim 9 further comprising using the authorization subprocessor to determine if the transaction is authorized. 11. The method of claim 9 wherein the transaction is a credit card transaction. 12. The method of claim 9 wherein the plurality of authorization constraints comprises at least two of the following: (i) a day of the week that a purchase is made, (ii) a time of day that the purchase is made, (iii) a merchant category, (iv) a transaction limit, and (v) a cash advance. 13. The method of claim 9 wherein the specific authorization parameters include listings of selectable values from which the user may select the specific authorization parameters, the selectable values including predetermined amounts of money or days of the week. 14. The system of claim 9 wherein the web server database interface is in the form of a calendar. 15. The system of claim 9 wherein the web server database interface is in the form of a list of merchant types. 16. A method comprising: selecting a combination of user authorization constraints from a plurality of authorization constraints using a web browser; selecting specific user authorization parameters associated with the user selected authorization constraints using the web browser; and providing the user selected authorization constraints and the user selected authorization parameters to a web server database interface, wherein the web server database interface subsequently stores the user selected authorization constraints and the user selected authorization parameters in an authorization parameter table database, and wherein an authorization subprocessor uses the user selected authorization constraints and the user selected authorization parameters to determine if a conducted transaction is authorized or not. 17. The method of claim 16 further comprising using the authorization subprocessor to determine if the transaction is authorized. 18. The method of claim 16 wherein the transaction is a credit card transaction. 19. The method of claim 16 wherein the plurality of authorization constraints comprises at least two of the following: (i) a day of the week that a purchase is made, (ii) a time of day that the purchase is made, (iii) a merchant category, (iv) a transaction limit, and (v) a cash advance. 20. The method of claim 16 wherein the specific authorization parameters include listings of selectable values from which the user may select the specific authorization parameters, the selectable values including specific predetermined amounts of money or days of the week.
