Find, track, and provide ability to cancel subscriptions through Quicken [Edited]

donjud

I'm looking for an app that can help me manage all of my subscriptions .

I have about 20 to 30 subscriptions like Netflix that automatically renew and charge my credit card unless I go through a lengthy process to cancel them 30 to 60 days before the renewal. You know the type, if we don't cancel ahead of time, we're stuck with paying for another year of subscription.

These apps and financial software that I'm looking for, remind you ahead of time, before the automatic renewal kicks in. If you want, they will cancel them for you.

The best apps and financial software allow you to link your financial accounts to them just like we do in Quicken. They look for charges to companies like Netflix that automatically renew your account unless you notify them to stop. BUT Quicken already contains the same information and has Bill Reminders. I don't think it will find, track and cancel subscriptions.

Since we're already have all of this information in quicken , it seems obvious that Quicken could include a feature to help cancel subscriptions . It would be a small step for Quicken. Other financial software is doing it. I hope Quicken already provides this feature and I missed it. Otherwise, I'm signing up and paying another company to handle subscriptions for me.

If you need to be reminded of the renewal date of any of your subscriptions, how about creating a Scheduled Reminder, e.g.,

which exists in parallel to your actual monthly Netflix reminder.

Repeat for all your other subscription expiration date reminders.

It might take a looong while before this Idea gathers enough steam to be considered by Quicken programmers for implementation.

Consider adding other important long-term expiration date reminders:

• Passport expires
• Drivers license expires
• Bank certificate of deposit matures
• Renew fishing or hunting license
• Renew stickers for motorboat, dirt bike or other ORV
• etc.

For reminders due every [xx] years, where [xx] is greater than 1, use a Monthly reminder, every [xx]*12 (24, 36, etc.) months. The yearly reminder setting does not allow "every [xx] years", even though that has been requested previously.
