Leak detection
Escalating a watch item to an actual alert: the Walmart+ Member $14.10 charge (Amex Plat, 8/21, settled) still has no matching "Platinum Walmart+ Credit" offset as of today — 2 days later. Checked the last two cycles directly: both 6/21 and 7/21 posted the offsetting credit same-day, with zero lag. Yesterday's run assumed a 1-2 day lag was normal, but that doesn't hold against the actual history, so this now reads as a real deviation rather than routine delay. No Monarch write applicable (nothing to tag on a missing inflow). Logged as walmart-credit-missing-20260821. Watch for the credit over the next day or two; if it never posts, the $14.10/mo Amex benefit may have lapsed and is worth a call to Amex.
Everything else in the window (8/16–8/23) was routine. JetBrains $11.87 (8/21), AMC 9640 Online $29.99 (8/19), and Preply $105.45 (8/16) all matched their now-confirmed recurring baselines exactly. YouTube $8.99 (8/16) was offset same-day by the $8.99 Digital Entertainment Credit as usual.
Ordinary spending: Amazon Marketplace $359.26 (8/22, pending), Green Taxi $18.30 (8/21), Earthbar $5.43 (8/19) and $14.95 (8/17), Inday $5.24 (8/19), Levy Rozman/Eventbrite chess ticket $39.15 (8/19), Salud Isshiki $17.34 (8/19). Also routine: Fidelity autoinvest transfer $600 (8/17, same transfer already flagged 8/18 — not a new occurrence), a Zelle payment $60 to Misbah Quraishi (8/21, personal transfer), and an Uber trip $34.84 settled plus a $26.54 charge/refund pair same day (8/18, self-reversing auth hold, nets to zero — not a leak).
No bank/interest/late fees. No new recurring-looking merchants this week. No genuine duplicate charges.
Dedupe — already alerted, no repeat notification: Alma 4×$150 (8/16, still open — Leif hasn't confirmed with Alma/insurance), Fidelity $600 transfer pattern (8/17, still unconfirmed as intentional).
Still-open single-occurrence watches with no confirmed recurrence: Strava $43.54, Superset $20.00, Volo Sports $111.53, Chelsea Skin & Laser $202.20, Sugaring NYC $43.05, Amazon US Prime $8.15, Intelius $38.43 (no further charge since 8/11), Fansly 2×$10.00 (8/13).

No wrong-card charges this window. No flights; no Amex-covered subscription newly charged to Chase.
Amex credits
Skipped — not within 5 days of month-end (8/31).
Reimbursables
No new MealPal/OpenAI/Equinox charges this window besides the MealPal $151.34 (8/18) already tagged reimbursable in the prior run — verified tag + note still present, no action needed. Checked all currently-tagged reimbursable charges against the 45-day rule: none crossed the threshold today. MealPal $151.34 (7/16) is still the next to watch, turning 45 days old on 8/30.
Idle cash (weekly)
Skipped — not Monday.
Next run: daily 8:30am ET.
