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.

I'm surprised it took 39 posts for this to be said.

Yes, businesses (including credit card companies) are only out to look after themselves.
