I was recently in NYC on vacation and made a purchase with my Discover card, which caused their fraud department to panic and shut down my card until I could call and verify the charges. They called my home phone and left a message. Unfortuntately, I made the mistake of leaving all of my other cards in my hotel room, and had to abandon my plans for the day to go back to my hotel and call for their "permission" to use my card again.
They've done this on several occassions, and it's getting to the point where I can't depend on the card to remain active when I'm making larger purchases. I spend about 2k per month on the card, and always pay the card in full each month. This purchase was for about $4k, and my credit limit is about $25k.
I've asked them to stop this tactic, but they''ve basically told me it's their money, and they can do what they want. Besides using a new card for all of my purchases, is there anything I can do? Are there any "trustworthy" cards out there?
