$1370 is large? I'm not calling every time I want to put 4 figures on my card.

My ~$5k transactions always seem to go through just fine (though I had to call once recently for a flight - maybe because I was booking it while in YYZ, rather than at home?).

Meanwhile, I get blocked on $20 transactions every now and then.

It's not the size that matters.
