How do I spot duplicate card charges on a statement?
Our answer
Sort transactions by merchant, date and amount and match against receipts, remembering pending authorisations may reverse.
Why this approach makes sense
The key evidence is the actual transaction, account setting and provider terms. Written confirmation matters more than an assumed cancellation.
Before you try it
Keep receipts and confirmation emails, and check whether a renewal, refund or dispute deadline applies.
