IME calling in beforehand does nothing to prevent automated fraud filters from flagging a transaction. It may help if your bank self-initiates a manual follow-up to the filter action in that they may unblock the card based on what is written in your file without you contacting them to verify the transaction. From then on, the fraud filter should also let similar future transactions pass. But if they don't initiate a follow-up themselves, you'll have to contact them again to unblock your card, no matter what is written in your file.
