More options in the "How Often" section of bill reminders

I'd like more time options here, or a custom option to set any interval I want. I have several bills that do not fall in any of the current options.

Thanks

You need to specify what those options would be. The developers can't just guess at it. And maybe the option already exists, but is entered in a way that isn't obvious.

Hello @Ristin,

Thank you for sharing this suggestion.

I agree with @Chris_QPW, the more detailed you can be, the better.

That being said, to request this feature to be added/modified in the future, what you can do is create an idea post. This way, other users who have the same or a similar request can vote on your idea.

Our Development and Product teams frequently use our idea posts in order to improve Quicken and implement new features requested by customers. 

I hope this helps!

Good point, only my wife seems to possess the capability to read my mind.

Ideally, I'd like the ability to create reminders with the custom repeat ability that the iOS calendar has.

Example: I work a 3 week rotational schedule. 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off. I get 3 weekly pay checks, then no paychecks for 4 weeks. So far this is easy enough, I just hit the skip button until the next check, (but its a work around and computers are supposed to make our lives easier. </sarcasm>)

Example 2: I have 12 vehicle registrations with different renewal dates. (our DMV is notorious for not sending notifications) Some renewal annually, (no problem), some renew every two years, some renew every four years and a few, every 10 years. You might say 10 year reminders are ridiculous, but when 2026 arrives I will have been using Quicken for 30 years non stop. I actually have a couple 10 year registrations expiring in 2026.

Anyway, those are my thoughts and maybe I'm just an oddball case, not worth the effort.

Needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few and all that….

Cheers

It's been a long-standing request that the Yearly duration be updated to allow multi-year durations:
Yearly, every [xx] years where [xx] is 1 - 99

As a workaround, try Monthly, every [xx] months where [xx] is a multiple of 12 up to 999, e.g., 3 years = 36 months.

How about this for a workaround:

• 3 reminders, one each for a weekly paycheck with a Weekly, every 7 weeks schedule

Insert classic face palm……

Setting up by month every X months never occurred to me and yet is the perfect solution. Serious "I can't see the forest for the trees" moment.

Thank you so much!
