Brother I don't know about you, but I don't waste my time refreshing and examining my online credit card statement every day.
I usually bring it up when it's time for the bill to be paid, and I examine all the charges at that point. Credit card companies never hold you liable for fraud, so it's never urgent to check your charges as soon as they post. This is different than a debit card, which takes the money first and then you have to fight to get it back.
This was the first company I've ever dealt with where you have fewer than 30 days to cancel a recurring charge. It's especially egregious because this occurs YEARLY! If it's a monthly charge, it is more reasonable for the company to argue that you should be used to the charge by then, and it's your fault if you fail to cancel until 2-3 weeks have passed. However, all companies I've dealt with will give you a 1-month refund if you cancel a recurring charge, provided it's clear you didn't use the service at all during that period.
Instacart has that 15-day period specifically to prevent people from seeing it on their credit card bill, and calling up in time. They are awful, and they hide behind foreign customer service reps. When you can't reach an American manager/rep no matter what you do, the company usually sucks.
