+1. Today, everybody is so busy...how diligent are you really at looking at every one of your financial statements?
I
try to - we attempt to focus all credit card spending on two cards, which helps. But still, sometimes I'll find an error or questionable charge in there - 2-3 months after it happens. I'm sure I have missed something before.
If a bank dumped two hundred bucks into my account by mistake, I would like to think I'd eventually find it and wonder what that line item was, but I might just assume that somebody wrote us a paper check for something...I don't know.
Just this morning, I found a Cat 3 1 night award redemption from my HHonors account. The transaction posted on October 15th and I have no idea why. I didn't redeem an award - but there it is, minus 25,000 points. I've emailed them now - hopefully it's a simple error that can be corrected. (Or maybe it's
this situation, and one of you people got a free Cat 3 night!!
