I check my credit card statement every weekend (and am lucky enough to be able to pay it all off). I never question the dollar amount of her charges, I just check to see if she made them.
Checking the card close to the event makes that easier. I recognize most of the charges, but sometimes they are obscure. For example, one time I had a charge to XYZ Entertainment in Hollywood, CA. I hadn’t been in the state for months. However, I could tell from the date and the amount that it was a city tour we took the previous week while vacationing in Charleston, SC. My wife and I often play a game called, “Oh, I know what that is!”
On the other hand, I was pretty sure that neither of us were in a Walmart in Tulsa, OK and made a charge of $4. I called the company immediately. Whoever bought my cloned card did not get their money’s worth out of it.
Once lost my club member card. Within a hour the good samaritan hit a major home equipment shop for enough stuff to start a small lawn service. Called card company and while the guy was saying they would take care of it, I mentioned that the store would have to eat the cost on their own. He asked why, and I said card has my photo and requires matching ID. I could hear the laugh in his voice as he said thanks for that info. Just wish they had been able to catch the character who took it.

This goes well with today’s Pickles. He has to fix his back so he can work hard and pay the bill.

Owchiwawa! This one hits close to home. My ex-wife nonchalantly asked if I could make the monthly payment on one of her cards. It was one grand!

My wife shares the credit card account with me.

I check my credit card and checking accounts every day. Both have been compromised in the past.

Now there will be a doctor’s bill added to that since he’s had a heart attack.
