Leak detection

Two Anthropic charges posted the same day (8/3: $87.35 + $21.78) — unusual-looking at a glance, but Anthropic billing has always been variable/multi-charge (e.g. three separate charges on 4/28 alone), so this fits the known pattern, not a new anomaly.

Two new one-off merchants this week, neither subscription-shaped enough to flag: Salud Isshiki $17.42 (restaurant) and Mani Market Place-style small purchases. One new merchant is watch-worthy: Sugaring NYC $43.05 (8/3, Chase) — a waxing/personal-care service, plausibly recurring every 3-4 weeks. Logged as a first-occurrence watch.

Apple.com/BILL resolved: a second charge appeared ($14.13 on 8/2, category Shopping) — different amount and category than the original 7/20 charge ($59.87, Electronics), only ~13 days apart. Reads as two distinct one-off purchases, not a subscription. Closed out as not-recurring.

Everything else was routine: NYCT/MTA/OMNY transit fares, Amazon (x4), MealPal (already tagged), Just Salad, Etsy, payroll deposit.

Still-open single-occurrence watches with no confirmed recurrence: Preply $105.45, Strava $43.54, Superset $20.00, JetBrains $11.87, Volo Sports $111.53, Alma $139.90, Chelsea Skin & Laser $202.20, G2G $1.46.

Two items still need your input: the Fidelity autoinvest transfer that jumped from $300 (roughly weekly) to a single $600 on 8/1 — still no confirmation either way. And Equinox's $360.53 anomaly from 7/23 — still no offsetting credit seen.

Wrong card

No violations — no flights this week; no Amex-covered subscription charged to Chase.

Amex credits

Skipped — not within 5 days of month-end.

Reimbursables

No untagged reimbursable charges found this window — MealPal $151.34 (7/29) was already tagged in a prior run.

45-day check: nothing crossed the threshold today. MealPal $151.34 (7/16) and Equinox $360.53 (7/23) turn 45 days old 8/30 and 9/6 respectively.

Idle cash (weekly)

Skipped — not Monday.

Next run: daily 8:30am ET.
