If someone can make sense of this, I would love an explanation.
I had the same problem--always local purchases and always at places I would charge at least 2 times week, usually gasoline related. Most times the person on the phone won't tell what set off the fraud alert, but once I was told that they are especially vigilant about gas purchases made through the unattended credit card readers at the gas pump.
What's ironic, since I have the Citi AAdvantage card, they once called me up to report "suspicious" activity by American Airlines.
