I never had an issue in the old VR days pushing hard using multiples of $500.
I think the biggest risk of getting a fraud alert is multiple large purchases at the same store in a short period of time on the same day. In my experience, once I've done that and then cleared the alert I usually don't have anymore problems with that particular cc as long as I don't let the cc go dormant and then start up again. At least it's easy to get these alerts fixed and I appreciate the card issuers looking out for us.
