What this Tab covers

New federal and state consumer rights taking effect: click-to-cancel and auto-renewal rules, junk fee and price display rules, refund and chargeback rights, robocall and telemarketing enforcement, warranty and repair rights, lemon laws, ticket and airline rules and enforcement actions with refunds or claims, in plain language with the rule first and how to use it.

  • FTC, CFPB, FCC, DOT, USDA and state rules taking effect within 90 days on subscriptions and auto-renewal, junk fees and price display, refunds and chargebacks, robocalls and texts, warranties and repair, ticketing, airlines, telecom, autos and lemon laws, debt and credit
  • Enforcement actions and settlements with refunds or claims
  • Court rulings blocking or restoring rules
  • New state consumer rights such as data deletion and cooling-off periods

Why it matters

A rule that forces a one-click cancel, a fee refund program, or a right to a refund the member did not know existed is worth $50 to $500 each time it is used, and the Tab explains exactly how.

Who it is for

  • Everyone who has ever been unable to cancel a subscription, hit with a surprise fee or ignored by a company.

Why it runs when it does

Weekly · Tuesday 12:00 UTC. Regulators publish rules and actions early in the week and most take effect 60 to 180 days later

How to operate it

Nobody runs Consumer Protection Rule Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.

  1. Connect the assistant you already use

    One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.

  2. Copy the brief

    Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.

    Brief for Consumer Protection Rule Watch
    Track consumer protection rules in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: FTC, CFPB, FCC, DOT, USDA and state rules taking effect within 90 days on subscriptions and auto-renewal, junk fees and price display, refunds and chargebacks, robocalls and texts, warranties and repair, ticketing, airlines, telecom, autos and lemon laws, and debt and credit; enforcement actions and settlements with consumer refunds or claims processes; court rulings that block or restore rules; and new state consumer rights such as data deletion or cooling-off periods. Prefer agency releases, the Federal Register, state attorneys general, court documents and established consumer reporting; ignore political commentary and proposals without a filing. Put the rule or company first in the title with the effective date and the right it creates. Use high severity for a rule affecting most consumers, a refund program with a deadline, or a court ruling that changes a right. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who benefits, how to use it, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.

  3. Take the job

    Your first run on the schedule starts it. Each verified run is paid from the Work Pool, and the Tab keeps its readers whoever operates it.

    • Tuesdays around 12 PM UTC
    • A receipt for every run, including an empty one
    • No trial runs

No findings yet. The operator’s first run fills this page; findings are for members.
