What is the best way of handling checking transfers to your credit cards?

Mike Maliner

When info is downloaded into Quicken from your checking account and credit card windows, in the checking account, it lists credit card autopay in the payee window and the bank name in the category window. It does delete the sum from the bank balance, but tells you that you are depositing it back into the same account.

Then, in the credit card account it lists the credit card in payee window and the credit card again in the category window. It does credit the card.

However, that creates a large uncategorized number in the profit/loss statement as the expense is listed in the credit card and again when the checking pays the credit card. Actually, the money sent to the credit card is merely a transfer of one's own money, and it is not an expense till the credit card lists it as an expense.

It does not seem to work in quicken, no matter how you do it.

Hello @Mike Maliner,

First, to clarify— you posted in a Mobile category; can you confirm whether this issue is happening in the Quicken Mobile app, or in the Quicken Classic for Windows or Mac Desktop program? Or are you using Quicken Simplifi?

Check back and let us know! Thank you.
