Citi gets very wary of you and your card if they see large transactions right out of the gate. At this point you are in what they call "fraud card" territory. Call them and have a conversation. Tell them you have the card and go through the security questions. Then say, I have had the card and the last "X" number of times you have denied me. It is embarrassing and annoying. Please reset my card so that I can spend as I need. tell them that you will be spending 1K or so at Target and CVS or a grocery store and that you will be in need of a card that actually works! They will help!
