All you have to tell them is that you're going to be in Europe for the next 3 months ... or whatever the situation is. You don't have to provide them with a day-by-day itinerary.
It is to protect you. If someone were to steal your credit card and start spending money in a different country, your card would be shut down before they cleaned you out. So all you have to do is to let them know that it will be you in Europe spending the money, not a thief. It's really quite simple and easy to do.
