I definitely think the key is sticking to large purchases. I'm not swiping this card for anything under $1000, and I prefer $2000 (my stores aren't allowing more). All those $500s, and filler purchases were only hurting.

Also very careful about no mistakes with paying down credit line on weekend when things don't post overnight. I'm now at the point where I confidently expect that white screen to show up at CVS.

I'm making partial payments almost everyday, paying off nearly entirely whatever posted the night before.
Maybe thats my problem because I have been using the card for about 5 small purchases a day and then almost every purchase over $500 is throwing a fraud alert. I'll shoot for just the larger ones and see how that goes. Thanks!
