Leak detection
New: Intelius $1.03 (8/5, Amex Platinum, pending, category Miscellaneous) — small trial-style charge, a common pattern for background-check/people-search subscriptions that escalate to a much larger recurring charge after a short trial. Flagged for closer watch than a typical new-merchant sighting; worth cancelling if you don't recognize signing up for this.
Everything else was routine: NYCT/MTA/OMNY transit fares, Amazon purchases, Deploy Coffee, Salud Isshiki, Anthropic (two charges same day — a $21.78 flat piece plus $87.35 variable usage, consistent with the pattern already reviewed 8/4, not a duplicate).
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, Sugaring NYC $43.05, Amazon US Prime $8.15.
Two items still need your input: the Fidelity autoinvest transfer that jumped from $300 (roughly weekly) to a single $600 on 8/1 — still unconfirmed. And Equinox's $360.53 anomaly from 7/23 — still no offsetting credit seen.
