I told them i dont shop at walmart and to look at my statements where i had previously purchased 50k at high end department stores in the last 3 months, and i threatened to cancel my card and switch to a different bank, so they eventually payed for it but if i hadn't of had the proof that i shop at barneys and holt renfrew regularly, they probably wouldn't have payed a cent of it. Be careful
I've got the Visa Infinite.. and can't believe they refused you on this request..

Keep the receipts as proof..
A hassle keeping the receipts though, and trying to sort through them..
