I use mint but I know that there are others.
I'm laying on my couch unable to sleep at 5 am. I see a "unusual spending" email from mint. Usually, mint will send them if recent activity in a category is way above normal. Normally it's because I made a big purchase.
In this case, it said I spent 600 on "travel", wait what? I haven't been anywhere... I log into mint figuring it mis categorized something (it does occasionally). Pulling up "travel" transactions I see 50+ Lyft charges over the past 6 days. Almost 10 a day. I use Lyft like 3 times a year. Check my Lyft app. No history of the sides. (I thought they might of hacked my Lyft account)
I call Chase up, their fraud department is reversing the charges and sending me a new card.
If it wasn't for that email it would have been another 2 weeks until paid my credit card till I noticed the issue.
