I use American Express for most of my card purchases. If I'm going to make a large purchase that is outside my normal spending behavior, or a purchase overseas I will proactively call them and let them know. Bam, problem solved. I don't know if the same type of customer service exist with the card products you are using, but if so I would suggest taking this approach moving forward.
