I had a discussion with Visa once about this. It turns out even if you  
notify them that you are travelling, give them the dates, countries  
and all the other details, they still will flag purchases of unusually  
high value and force you to do a phone verification. Hotel rooms and  
travel related charges are fine though you can easily spend $K on a  
hotel stay. Go figure.

Regards,
Spencer
