Good deal. I want to clarify --- I know banks do call and check out unusual or big purchases (has happened to me), but I still feel, in this day and age, that it's important to double check.
After the last time, in a really really nice hotel in Canada (okay - I used a coupon), my card was rejected. I had to call the card company and they were concerned because I'd bought gas in the US and then tried to use the card in Canada. Well, we talked about it and she suggested that from then on, when we were going to do a big purchase or travel like that to call AHEAD of time. We did, and never had that happen again. gosh, it was so embarrassing -- it was like we had over-used or stolen the card!!!!
