Example Prompts

1. "I'm at the grocery store. Which card should I use to get the best rewards?"
2. "I see a charge on my statement I don't recognize. What are the steps to dispute this?"
3. "Should I set my utility bills to autopay, or is it better to pay them manually?"

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: The Pay skill is strictly an advisory tool. It is programmed never to initiate or authorize a payment on your behalf without your explicit, manual confirmation for every individual transaction.
• Verification: Always verify credit card category bonuses against your specific banking portal, as individual card agreements can change without notice.
• Documentation: When handling disputes, maintain a file of all digital and physical receipts to simplify the claim process if you need to provide evidence to a financial institution.
• Security: Never share your full card numbers, CVV codes, or banking login credentials with the AI. The skill provides guidance on how to handle these processes, but you should always interact directly with official, verified banking platforms.
