Declined

If you plan on making significant purchases while away from home, you may want to contact your bank or credit card company in advance to let them know you will be traveling and will be using the card. If they notice a large purchase coming from a location you don’t typically shop from, they may flag it as credit card fraud and cancel the transaction.

Even though I’m not particularly well off, don’t get out much, and don’t have many opportunities to make truly substantial purchases, I do know this to be true. If I know that, then why don’t these wealthy people? How often do they take such big trips or make such large purchases? What the heck is going on?
