How to I setup a Bill Reminder for every 2 months?

My Medicare payment is 2 different amounts that are each paid once per month.
So every other it changes between $120.10 and $170.

My BofA account allows for creating multiple AutoPay options to the same payee. So I setup two different payments each for "every 2 months".

Example: May $170, June $120.10, July $170, Aug $120.10

Bank AutoPay options:
weekly, every 2 weeks, every 4 weeks, twice a month, every 2 months, every 3 months, every 6 months, annually.

Quicken Bill Reminder:
weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, twice a month, quarterly, yearly, twice a year, only once to pay estimated taxes

  • I would set up two reminder transactions to Medicare (or the appropriate party).  One for 120.10 and the other for 170.00.  The frequency for both would be "every other month".  To do "every other month" in Quicken, you need to choose "Monthly" and then, every 2 months on the day you want.

    Thanks for quick reply. LOL I feel like idiot I didn't see option for "Every X"
  • No worries.  Sometimes in Quicken you need to actually click into a transaction to see what it actually does or can do.  It was a while before I found that one too.
