Just don't carry paper statements over the border with you and don't leave your banking apps logged in.
The whole "CBA can see your CC history" is silly. The concern was that Visa and MC store data in the US and unlike the records of a US citizen, law enforcement doesn't need a warrant to ask for it from the company. It wasn't that your every purchase is automatically put into a CBP database that is instantly checkable just by typing in your name.
If CBP goes to the trouble of finding out who you have a CC with, going to the company with a request, waiting for a reply and then combing through those records; you've already been detained and in a heap of trouble.
