Automated Amex Recurring Charge Reviews

Every Monday, WebRun signs into American Express, looks back over recent statements to find merchants that charge on a repeating cycle, compares each amount with the last time it was billed, sends you a WhatsApp list showing what recurs and what has changed, and drafts a Gmail query to any merchant whose price rose or who billed twice in a period.

In short

How do I find the subscriptions charging my credit card each month?

WebRun reviews your recurring card charges every Monday. It groups recent American Express transactions by merchant, finds the ones billing on a cycle, compares each amount with the previous charge, sends you the list on WhatsApp, and drafts a Gmail query for every price rise or duplicate charge.

  • Every repeating charge is visible in one weekly list
  • Price rises are caught on the first statement they appear
  • Nothing is cancelled, disputed, or paid without you

Questions, answered

Will it cancel subscriptions or dispute a charge?

No. WebRun never cancels a subscription, disputes a transaction, pays a bill, or moves money. It reports what recurs and drafts a query, and every decision stays with you.

Does it email merchants on my behalf?

No. The query sits in your Gmail drafts until you read it and click send, because a message to a merchant about your card is yours to approve.

How does it spot a recurring charge?

By grouping recent transactions by merchant and looking for a repeating cycle and a consistent amount, then comparing the newest charge against the one before it to catch a rise or a duplicate.

Put this on autopilot.
