I understand it is for THEIR protection (not for your protection). Credit card companies bear the cost of fraud.
Personally, I can't imagine every way the credit card algorithm may work and might flag a transaction as "unusual and possible fraudulent". Therefore, I don't always know when to "simply have to call and tell them... (in advance)"
I want an immediate verification and not get a sale/transaction cancelled.
