am so tired of unclear bank charges
I saw another random charge on my HSBC card today and immediately felt my blood pressure go up. There was barely any useful context. I was going to go through the usual routine to check WHAT is the money and genuinely one step away from calling customer service again before my friend remembered what happened. But thank GOD This time it turned out my Apple ID was still connected to a friend, and she bought a membership without realizing it would charge my card. So yes, part of this is on me. I need to clean up what accounts are connected.
Still, why are there so many unclear bank charges? If something has permission to take money from my card, I should be able to see that clearly before it happens. There should be a clear reminder, or at least some kind of clue that does not make me feel like a fool every time I found a suspicious charge and had no idea why was that.
