If you have Tracfone, check your account to make sure that you haven't been enrolled in their auto refill program. I had a pending charge for auto refill pop up in my checking account today when I went to balance my checkbook. I've never signed up for auto refill, nor did I authorize it, preferring to buy the refill card when I can get it at a discount.

Maybe it's just me and many do but I will never link my checking account to my phone.
I'm so out of it, I control my checking account, nothing is auto paid unless I pay it. People say they don't have "time", you make time because you work so hard to earn the cash, you need to control it, not some machine. Sorry, just ranting.

I agree, we do not have our checking account linked to ANYTHING on line, nor do we pay our bills online from our checking account.

I have a couple of automatic payments linked to a credit card, but none to my checking account. Some places only will allow auto payments linked to a bank account. Not for me.

I didn't post to be berated, this was posted as a warning. The whole issue is that I did NOT set up or authorize auto refill. My card info is on their site from when I purchased air time from them before. The card in question expires 07/2021, I won't be updating the info on it. I have an expired charge card on my account, I can't remove it even though it's expired.

So this charge is to your credit card?

@geezerette, no, the credit card they have on file for me expired 10 years ago so they defaulted to my debit card. I can't remove the cards, I just went to the site & tried to remove the cards, I was unable to.

I totally agree. Never have nor never will have anything on line attached to my checking account.

@sgraham30 ...we understand, but goodness gracious don't ever do that again. When I want minutes for my tracfone....I buy a new phone or buy a card. Never attached anyhing to your checking account. Can't you call tracfone and have them take it off?

@sgraham30 it was good of you to post this warning. I realized earlier this year on a continuing education site that they had switched my account to an automatic payment. Fortunately I was able to remove my credit card information without contacting them but I sure would have.
