That may depend on a few things on why you kept getting fraud alerts. When I first got Barclays AA biz, the first few days were crazy, I even had $100 transactions declined. But after that it settled down where I’ve gotten back to back at Staples or Office Max without any issues. I had that with my Chase Freedoms also when I started using them at CVS but after a few transactions it doesn’t trigger anymore.
My main inquiry was about la_cigogne comment about the gift card from the CSR, whether that was just mentioned without them saying anything or did they mention they were buying gift cards.
