It has been suggested before here on TOTV to have your credit cards set up to send you a text when a charge is made. (In fact, TOTV is where I first read about doing that.)

It works well:

One evening Mr. Boomer asked me, “Did you join something called Tinder?”

“EEK!” said I — and explained to him what “Tinder” is.

Anyway, we made an immediate call to to the credit card co. and quickly ruined a good time for whoever it was. (I guess we ruined a bunch of good times because that joining fee — or hook-up fee — was for a long time.)
