How do people handle bill reminders for "every 30 days"?

Tom Pottenger

The monthly "each month on XX day" doesn't work because with "every 30 days" the day of the month crawls backwards, moving the due day up each month, and some of my providers use this billing method. Does anyone have a work around for this? Or am I missing something?

Sorry, @ Tom Pottenger . As mentioned by @GeoffG , there is no 30 day option at this time.  I seem to recall that it was suggested as a product improvement (actually, I think the request was to allow entry of any number of days) but for some reason I can't find it right now.

Anyway, our options for a 30 day reminder schedule are currently limited to setting up the reminder for 1X per month or 1X every 4 weeks and then to manually adjust it each month once we get the bill and schedule the payment and/or enter it into your register.

I just reviewed and you are correct, there is no 30 day option. I may have adjusted an occasional reminder, but never came across a 30 day repeat. So I have to ask, why do you need 30 days that 4 weeks or monthly won't accomplish?

Geoff, I already answered your question in my original posting.

Thanks everyone! Now I know I'm not missing anything. I'll simply go with every 4 weeks, then adjust the next date by 2 extra days after paying the bill... if I remember. Darn those little ifs....
