No—given how traditional card issuers work you might make that assumption, but this particular account logs all transactions in realtime, including those declined.

One other thing to note is that the account provides disposable virtual cards which you can burn for any and all online transactions, but I haven’t tried these with any air tickets due to the requirement to carry the ‘payment card’. Certainly would have been useful for said award bookings!
