pay bills with a credit card?

Question

When will Quicken allow me to pay bills with a credit card?  I bought the program for that very reason?

This, plus setting auto Reminders to match the payments accomplishes what the OP is looking for. A simple process with total onus on the vendors and CC companies.

Personally, what I do is setup automatic payments at my biller's website and most of them allow for paying with my credit card that gives me cash back.  I have been doing that for more 30 years.

Hi again @DM1977,

I understand what you want to do - a lot of folks these days like to pay as many of their regular monthly bills using their credit card(s) to get the points - I get it.  The problem is that Quicken doesn't currently support that function as part of the program.  Right now, the "use of your credit card" to make payments "through the Quicken program" just is not supported.  The issue is the limitation of the Quicken software application.  And as I said above - the workaround is just to make your payments at the vendor's website using your credit card and then use a combination of downloading from the credit card account and/or manual entries to track those transactions in Quicken.
