And little amounts will generally trigger a warning flag... lots and lots of activity, even if it is in smaller amounts, will generally get your account flagged. I had to deal with that a lot with the poor tourists at my last job.
Speeking of the little amounts.. also going to a gas station 2 times/days in a row will get some cards put on hold. Chad filled his car one day & my car the next day.. then they put a hold on his account.. Thats nearly weekly & is annoying & embarassing. Chad puts gas in 3 cars on a regular bases & sometimes puts gas in the 4th car. He keeps telling them that he has up to 4 cars to put gas in, so to please stop putting his card on hold, because of gas. But they always ignore him... In a sence its good, but to this degree its not helpful.. its also only a 300.00 card & cannot be over drawn, so its not a major issue if someone steals it.. a pain yes, but not the end of the world.
