I don't think anyone is sure why. Probably there is something in their spending pattern that is triggering something in Comenity's algorithm that is too sensitive. I think that this can happen with any bank, but with Comenity being smaller they probably have less sophisticated systems so they may be more susceptible to it. I would't worry about it. Always carrying at least 2 cards is a good idea no matter what.

I have had one false fraud detection flag on a card in my life (it was years ago). It does happen occasionally but it should be very rare. I have also had actual fraud on cards a couple of times.
