4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the updating the payment card profile associated with the payment card includes changing a probability of rejection of the payment card in at least one destination region when the payment card is used to make a purchase.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein prior to updating the payment card profile, verifying payment card identifier matches information from a ticket associated with the card holder.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the changing the probability of rejection is directly related to receiving the payment card identifier within a settable period of time.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending at least one advertisement to a client device of the card holder based on a destination region, a credit card identifier, or a combination there.

8. A payment card fraud management system comprising:

a memory;

a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, where the processor is configured to perform

using at least one biometric sensor to perform biometric identification of a card holder prior to allowing the card holder to physically pass through at least one security checkpoint;

accessing, by a payment card company, information associated with the card holder after the card holder has physically passed through the at least one security checkpoint in which the card holder's identity has been authenticated using biometric identification;

extracting at least one destination region from a ticket associated with the card holder;

receiving at least one payment card identifier associated with the card holder using a client processor-based device, only after the card holder has physically passed through the at least one security checkpoint and while on one of an airplane, a bus, a train, or a ship and prior to reaching a ticketed destination; and

updating, by the payment card company, a payment card profile associated with the payment card by authorizing use of the payment card within at least one or more of the destination region and a time period, and the updating the payment card profile includes changing a probability of rejection of the payment card in at least one destination region when the payment card is used to make a purchase based upon receiving the payment card identifier using the client processor-based device from a ticket venue network address defined as an identifier for a node or a network interface of a telecommunications network associated with the ticket, wherein the ticket venue network address is located after the card holder has physically passed through the at least one security checkpoint; and

increasing the probability of rejection of the payment card in response to failing to receiving the payment card identifier using the client processor-based device from the ticket venue network address defined as the identifier for the node or the network interface of the telecommunications network associated with the ticket.

9. The payment card fraud management system of claim 8 , wherein the security checkpoint is at least one of an aviation security checkpoint, a bus security checkpoint, a train security checkpoint, a ship security checkpoint, a stadium security checkpoint, a border crossing security checkpoint, or a combination thereof.

10. The payment card fraud management system of claim 8 , wherein the payment card is at least one of a credit card, a cash card, a pre-paid card, a secured card, a gift card, an automatic teller card, a bank card, a check card, or a combination thereof.

11. The payment card fraud management system of claim 8 , wherein the updating the payment card profile associated with the payment card includes changing a probability of rejection of the payment card in at least one destination region when the payment card is used to make a purchase.

12. The payment card fraud management system of claim 11 , wherein prior to updating the payment card profile, verifying payment card identifier with information from a ticket associated with the card holder.

13. The payment card fraud management system of claim 8 , wherein the changing the probability of rejection is directly related to receiving the payment card identifier within a settable period of time.

14. A non-transitory computer program product for managing payment card transactions, the computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code configured to:

using at least one biometric sensor to perform biometric identification of a card holder prior to allowing the card holder to physically pass through at least one security checkpoint;

accessing, by a payment card company, information associated with the card holder after the card holder has physically passed through the at least one security checkpoint in which the card holder's identity has been authenticated using biometric identification;

extracting at least one destination region from a ticket associated with the card holder;

receiving at least one payment card identifier associated with the card holder, only after the card holder has physically passed through the at least one security checkpoint and while on one of an airplane, a bus, a train, or a ship and prior to reaching a ticketed destination; and

updating, by the payment card company, a payment card profile associated with the payment card by authorizing use of the payment card within at least one or more of the destination region and a time period, and the updating the payment card profile includes changing a probability of rejection of the payment card in at least one destination region when the payment card is used to make a purchase based upon receiving the payment card identifier using a client processor-based device from a ticket venue network address defined as an identifier for a node or a network interface of a telecommunications network associated with the ticket, wherein the ticket venue network address is located after the card holder has physically passed through the at least one security checkpoint; and
