Call before you go and tell them you are traveling.



Somewhere I read that such a call triggers a fraud red alert.


That would be counterintuitive. I always inform my bank before traveling out of the country. They want to know the destination nation and a date range, which is necessary to avoid triggering red flags when "card present" transactions start showing up from an unexpected location.
