Price History Updates - used to track airline miles

Dave Davis

I saw a Quicken tip several years ago about using an investment account for keeping track of airline miles and I've been doing it since. Making the transactions are a problem but the security price history is. I base the share price I use in the transaction window on how much a mile (share was worth when I use them to buy a ticket. I would expect the price history to reflect that purchase price when I add new shares, but there is no rhyme or reason that I can figure about what Quicken puts there. It is not the price that I type in the field.

Anyone have a clue why it changes?

Thanks for the reply, but I know what the Price History does and how it works. There is no price update download as they are made up securities. And as for creating an entry when I make a buy / sell, that's when the problem happens. I specifically tell Quicken in the "Buy - Shares Bought" window that the (made up) security is worth $.007, for example, but when I hit Enter, the price history shows something completely different. Why doesn't it show $.007 in this example? I have been doing this for years and it only started happening in the last few months.

What ticker symbol did you assign to your air miles "security"?
Or did you leave that blank?

I left it blank.
