Making a large purchase with my credit card

in Credit cards
Hi everyone,
I have my eye on something i would like to buy, it will cost around 2 thousand. I want to pay with my credit card as i know i will be better protected if things go wrong (hopefully not)
But i was wondering as its such a large purchase and not one that i have done before should i phone my CC issuer to inform them of this ? So that they do not block the transaction as obviously they will think its something dodgy ?
Maybe they can make a note of it on my file ?

It wont hurt to give them a call. I have had things rejected before that went through after talking to the support people. I also call if i'm going overseas and expect to use my card.

You're buying a £2k item and you're worried about a quid on the phone bill?

Name the credit card company, and someone here will find you a non 0845 number in a flash
