Actually, I consider that a good thing... I'd rather they be extra cautious than not.
Also - you can call them to let them know that you will be using the card in a way that doesn't fit your normal spending habits.
I had my card jacked a few years ago - they shut it down before they even called me.
BTW: When they did call me about my credit card being compromised, I told them NOTHING. I said "Thanks. I'll call back to confirm." Then I called the number on my credit card and took it from there. You'd be surprised how many scammer are probably using that "Your card had been compromised" line to lift numbers. Paranoid? You betcha. But sometimes it is helpful.
