I definitely practice this, happy someone is encouraging others to do the same. Many times I picked up errors on my pay slip and purchase charges and was able to rectify it immediately because I stayed vigilant. Also, definitely check your receipts each time before you throw it out even down to the smallest transaction.

I had the same thing with their grocery service years ago. They just settled a major lawsuit with the FTC over this issue with Prime.

They are charging for Amazon Fresh now, separately from Amazon Prime? I knew delivery minimums were ratcheded up, and the Prime monthly fee for SNAP recipients was hard to find for awhile as it was reconfigured. Amazon Fresh was extremely useful during lockdown. But this is one more justification for dropping Amazon usage completely.

I had a similar thing with Amazon and called the help desk who refunded the charge as they could see that I’d not used the service once. Worth a try!
