Chase point laundering
I got this strange email that my chase email on file was successfully changed last week. I tried to log in on the app and my password was changed. I got access to my account changed my email back and went about my day. Fast forward to this week and I see there is a random 60k in my ur account. I figure the bank messed up and just transfer it to another card. I try to log on the next day and my password is changed again. I regain access and look at my ur activity and tons of points had been redeemed for gift cards. Not all the points were mine. No idea where they came from. Its like they were using my account to launder the points. Anyone have this happen

If your password got changed twice, that's pretty interesting.
I'm sure there are a lot of possibilities, but here are some:
-easy password to guess
-someone at Chase is screwing around
-someone is in your email
-someone is in your password manager
-you reset your password to the same password after the first change
Could any of those be the case? I guess #2 wouldn't be something you'd know about, but the others?
