What they did
He thought his Amex Gold card covered Uber One. His Grok Bot caught that he'd been paying for it himself for 19 months. The Gold card gives $10 a month in Uber Cash, and Uber One is a Platinum perk. Uber One cost him $189.81 for two rounds of rides this year, so he cancelled it.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Look through my email and card statements for every membership or subscription I'm paying for. For each one, check whether any of my credit cards ([list cards]) already includes it as a perk or credit, and quote the card's current benefit terms. Flag anything I'm paying for twice or think is covered but isn't, with the total I've paid. Don't cancel anything without my OK.
