How do I handle a payment which is now a part of my phone bill?
For several years I've paid for my Netflix subscription using bill pay with my bank. And I've tracked it in Quicken as a regularly scheduled payment. A month ago I decided to use my phone bill to pay for my Netflix subscription. It was an service they offered to do. I've discontinued paying it through my bank, but it is still scheduled in Bills & Income in my Quicken Classic Premium. I'm wondering, should I delete it from Bills & Income? Or is there some way I leave it there, but have it stop being tracking by Quicken?

Does the Netflix amount come in as an additional part to your phone bill … or a separate bill?
Do you also use a "regularly scheduled payment" for your phone bill.
Since it's no longer a separate bill from Netflix, I'd delete it from Bills & Income, and add (or adjust, as appropriate) the phone bill with the new amount added to the phone bill as a split line.
