If you are earing miles or other rewards in addition to using their money for free for a month they really don't like that.
This may or may not have anything to do with your current situation, but that is the way these companies think.

Ha, this is true - Americans are supposed to carry large balances at 19%
Seriously though, Chase and Citi have very aggressive fraud monitoring on their cards - if you are buying tickets and making reservations and purchases online it looks to the computers as if you are moving all over the country and they will shut the card down immediately until they reach you by the phone on file or you call in because you were declined.
In November I charged breakfast in Fort Lauderdale, coffee and snacks in Phoenix on my layover, and when I checked into the show hotel at Webaccess LA I was declined until I called in and assured them the card was in my possession and all was cool
