Move accounts to a new card

When a card is replaced, the bot finds every account and subscription that charges the old card and switches them to the new one.

Starting prompt (adapted)

My old card is being replaced. Search my email and budgeting app for every account and subscription that charges the old card, and list them with the merchant, amount, and billing date. Show me the list before changing anything. For each account I approve, update the saved payment method using the card's saved wallet entry, never by typing the full card number into a chat, and tell me which accounts still need me.

Written for this site from what the cases below did. It is a starting point, not a prompt anyone posted. Fill in the parts in brackets.

What you still do

  • Approve the list of accounts to update
  • Enter the new card where a site asks for it in full
  • Watch for failed payments in the next month

Where it tends to fail

  • Accounts with no email receipt can be missed
  • Some sites ask for the full card number and a security code, which you should enter yourself
  • Only a text claim so far

How well it's backed up

This saves time and avoids failed payments rather than saving money. So far this is a single text-only claim.

Text only: 1.
