Perhaps. I don't have 2017 to look at. Can you find the option here?
When adding a new bill reminder using the Bills, Income & Transfers view, click the “+” button and select “Manual Bill” from the popup
When doing same from the Tools Menu / Manage Bills and Income Reminders view also choose “Add”, “Bill”, “Manual BIll”.
If you're using an expired subscription, you can't do anything online any longer anyway. No online bill pay. No transaction downloading. Nothing online. And, yes, you shouldn't have the (new since 2017) Online Bill Manager functions. To add a new scheduled reminder use the Tools Menu / Manage Bills and Income Reminders view and choose an option from the “Add” Menu choices.
Path on QW2017 to create manual reminder:
Tools | Manage Bill & Income Reminders or press CTRL J on your keyboard
From Bill and Income Reminders window, click Create New | Bill Reminder
