Importing Citibank transactions for last year creates a new "Line of Credit" account

kirsti

I'm trying to import my Citibank credit card transactions from 2019 but when I go to File -> Import -> Bank or Brokerage File (OXF, QFX)... I get a message that 1 Account Found, add or link the account but it calls it "Line of Credit" and even when I change the type to credit card, the only option is to add a new account. Is there a way to import those transactions to the existing account? Or should I just turn off the existing account and create a new account by downloading all the transactions from last year and year to date? Thank you!

Yes, you need to deactivate the existing account under the Settings: Troubleshooting button so that you have the option to link to the existing one. You won't have to create a new account.

Having the existing account already setup for transaction download is why Linking is not an option. It will be once you deactivate.
