Money owed inbox sweep
Searches your old email for refunds, credits, and deposits you never claimed.
When to use it
Use it once to sweep the last few years, then again every few months.
What it needs
Read access to my email. How many years back to search (ask me if I don't say).
Steps
- Search my email for refunds, credits, rebates, deposits, and overpayments.
- Drop anything I clearly already received or claimed.
- For each one left, note the company, amount if shown, date, and what's needed to claim it.
- Draft a claim email for any that need one.
How it checks itself
Link or quote the email each item came from. Mark amounts as 'not shown' instead of guessing.
What you get back
A table: company, amount, date, source email, what's needed to claim, and status. Plus any claim drafts.
Needs your OK
Don't contact anyone. Every claim email is a draft I send myself. Claiming the money is up to me.
