I think the bank probably, in that case froze the card because it was unusual to have that much out of town activity for your account?

I never travel our of Washington, so when I did, MY bank froze my bank card when I started spending a lot of money in San Francisco. I called, and as soon as I told them it was indeed ME in SF, they turned it back on. It is a stop-loss if they think the card is stolen.

You could be right. That was my first trip outside the state in about 20 years. A lot of gas purchases in a short period of time along the Indiana/Ohio turnpike may have raised the flag.
