So what. Several times in the past couple of years, I received calls from my credit card companies flagging “suspicious” transactions, which were all legitimate. The computer algorithms are helpful in stopping fraud and such, but they are always correct. Just because a computer algorithm flags something doesn’t make it a real issue.

Outrunning the American Express Algorithm on a Cannonball

A guy who drove one of the Cannonball races from NYC to LA had his credit card declined at a gas station somewhere in the midwest because it was last used in NYC several hours earlier and the algorithm didn’t account for speeding.
