If I autopay the full amount before realizing there's a fraudulent $1,000 charge on my card, then I'm in for a surprise when an extra $1,000 is missing from my checkout account.

A pending fraudulent charge on my credit card isn't a problem. Cash missing from my bank account until the investigation is complete CAN be a problem.

But there are usually 25 days between when a statement is generated and an Autopay is deducted for that statement. Just have your checkup of the statement scheduled between those 25 days
