    I think it boils down to whether 1) you have one account with two different credit card numbers linked to it (like @NotACPA 's situation and my Citi Costco Visa situation) or 2) you have two different credit card accounts that online are linked together in one online account.
    If you have a #1 situation you will most likely get only one credit card account (that of the primary card holder) showing up in Quicken and all of the transactions from both of us download into that single account.  (In the case of my Costco Visa, the transactions downloaded show in the Memo field which of us made the purchase.)
    If you have a #2 situation you will most likely get two credit card accounts showing up in Quicken because they really are two separate accounts.

    @Jimmy056 - just set up two accounts in Quicken and link each card to each account.  If you are asking how to link both cards to one account in Quicken, I don't believe that is possible.

    My AA Mastercard has the same situation ... 1 account (1 bill) but 2 cards with different numbers.
    I've setup MY card for download into Q ... and ALL transactions for both cards are downloaded.
    What you might need to do is to record the transactions manually, before they download, and use TAGS to identify which card.
    If you set up BOTH cards in Q, you'll probably get everything downloaded twice.

    Thank you for comments, I believe that I will have to manually fix these for right now. Or maybe remove one of the accounts as they double show debt I do not have. Thank You again
