Is there a reason Youtube is not available as an online biller?

I have it added a Manual Bill, but it would seem to be a no brainer to add this. Just seems on Nextflix is added but not Youtube. Not that these really work 100% anyway.

Hello @TimMarciniak,

According to this FAQ, if the biller you wish to connect to is not listed as an option, it means we do not currently support that biller (but they might get added in the future). Unfortunately, there is no documentation available that shows why specific billers are not supported.

Thank you!

Many billers would probably appreciate it if you used their Autopay service to pay your monthly bill as a direct debit from a checking or credit card account.

I recommend you logon directly to the biller's website and authorize them to direct debit (aka PAC Draft, Autopay, APS, etc.) the next and all future payments from your checking account or a credit card. The biller's computer system will do all the work for you to make an electronic debit on the due date and you don't have to worry about being late.
In Quicken unlink the bill and just record a scheduled reminder which does not execute as an online payment into your account register on or before the Due Date and before you download transactions from the bank or credit card containing the payment transactions. That will allow Quicken to match your register transaction to the downloaded data and not cause any further issues.

Echoing @UKR's reply. I have as many vendors set-up for Direct Debit as will permit such. I still get their bill in a timely manner, and just need to make sure that the funds are available on the payment date.

That way, when I'm traveling (or, recently, in the hospital) things take care of themselves.

IF I have some problem with the payment amount, I still have about 2 weeks from receipt of the bill until payment date to take it up with the vendor.

Thank You All!!

I do have that setup as with most of my bills. Youtube seems to vary by pennies every few months and I thought it might be nice to get a heads up via the Bill Manager. Most of my small local companies work with it, so, I just thought it odd a giant like YouTube wouldn't. I thought maybe there was a history or story there.
