Proper accounting of simple reimbursement

FredMaine

Forgive me while I learn this stuff; I am fairly new at Quicken.

I paid for a service with my credit card. In my memory at least, I made the category Misc. It may have been uncategorized, but that seems unlikely as I try to keep after those.

Account: Mastercard
8/24 Jewelers Misc 131.88

Then, I was reimbursed.

Account: Venmo
8/25 Jane Doe Paid [Mastercard] 131.88
Account: Mastercard
8/24 Jewelers [Venmo] -131.88

Am I mistaken that Quicken matched these up and automagically changed the category? I have no memory of doing that myself. And, is this the proper accounting of this event?

I'll add that moneys from Venmo payments get moved to my checking account in a lump sum on occasion, not per transaction. Mastercard is paid when due, from checking. So the apparent direct transfer of 131.88 from Venmo to Mastercard seems odd to me.

Yeah, seems like the 8/25 reimb in the Venmo acct. should go to Misc instead of [Mastercard]. I would just change the Venmo entry.
