And if you cross a black cat outside of the store, be sure to tap your heels 3 times before loading
I had a Chase CSR call me about a Fraud Alert after loading an even $500. She told me specifically that the reason for the alert was a large round amount. Had I charged something like $498.36, I likely would not have triggered the fraud alert and would have saved myself 3 minutes on the phone with Chase.
It's not about Target. Why should Target care? It's about avoiding suspicion from the banks.
Target transactions are considered high-risk right now with the banks considering the large data breach that recently happened.
