They did the same thing for the past 2 years and even though I called and told them that I'll be doing this transaction for the foreseeable future, they still blocked me . I told them that they better shape up and if this happens again I will be canceling my card.
I find CIBC great with regards to suspicious transactions. You can register on their site to receive an email "credit watch" or something like that when ever a problem arises. I have the system triggered a few times this past year and each time had the problem resolved in under minutes.
