Trying to set up a Bimonthly Recurring Payment

Jim Haas

I am on Quicken Deluxe for Mac, Version 6.1.1. I was trying to set up a new payment that is due every other month. The Scheduling component did not offer a way to do that. I could select "Monthly", but could not specify a number of months. This seemed strange, because I knew I had already set up a bimonthly bill some time ago, and it was working fine. I looked up that bill to see how it was set up: it showed the same options I had seen for the new bill - no way to specify a number of months. When I exited, the bill was gone from my list of recurring payments.

What is going on? Am I doing something incorrectly?

Hello @Jim Haas

Thank you for reaching out on the community and telling us about your issue. I do apologize for the issue you're having. You should be able to do this by editing the monthly reminder a little bit. When you're selecting the bill you'll want to make sure it's monthly then click the little sideways arrow to the left of the start date. This will list the options down below. You'll want to change it to every 2 months and this should set it up for every other month. I'll leave a photo down below.

Let me know if this helps you out. If not we'll see what we can do next.

Thanks,

Thanks. I looked right past the ">" next to the Start Date.
