I'm always running into new CSRs across DFW and they never bat an eye on $10k/$20k purchases. If you get a fraud warning, just step aside and call the fraud desk to clear up. CSRs are more likely to remember you negatively if your card gets denied and then you walk away, because they then have to destroy the cards.
I agree with this post. Part of the benefit of MSing is maximizing your ROI which includes time and gas. I have found most CSRs to be very friendly and have had long discussions with them. Many know what you are doing and don't really care as long as you aren't affecting their jobs (i.e. committing fraud). If they are smart, they are probably asking how to do it
