How does one register credit cards as billers as well as payers?

Question

New to Quicken and for the life of me I cannot automatically generate a reminder to pay an outstanding credit card bill.  I originally set up the card as an online payer account and successfully accessed all of my transactions.  I cannot, however, access my card as a biller (and show the outstanding balance and due date as a bill (transfer) reminder.  I can manually set up the transfer for reminder purposes, but it asks me to manually enter the balance and due date.   What's up with that?  Can anyone explain how this process should work?

I suspect you may be mixing a few things.

When we set up a manual bill reminder for credit card payment, we may select to have the amount estimated using the Current credit card balance.

When we use an online bill, Quicken should obtain the amount due when the bill becomes available.  If we link the online bill to a bill reminder, Quicken should use the online bill for the amount estimated.

I think it would be nice if Quicken would use the bill reminder 's estimate setting until the online bill amount is available, but that isn't how it how Quicken is presently implemented.
