From what the other thread says, the WF method of detecting fraud is different than other banks. They want to see a consistent pattern and mixing large and small purchases is not consistent for them. IME do not vary locations. I have not used it at a gas station since that is a large source of CC fraud.

In order to avoid problems, I will never exceed the CL and pay only once a month when the statement posts. And pay at a branch with a check from another bank, not BB.
