Bottom line is that errors and fraud are common, and simply checking you statement can save you some significant costs. It's been worth the effort for me.

That why I never give my CC to waiter that go behind closed door (out of site) after all waiters not making 6 figures so sometimes temptation worth getting caught. Maybe you check, but next 9 maybe not?
