Action Code for Any Payment Method.

When paying from a Bank Account there is a Check # Register Column Heading.
I virtually never use Check Numbers but you can put almost any character string in the Check # field. For years I have used DEP, D-DEP, D-DEB, ATM, INT, DCARD, E-PMT, TXFR with obvious meanings. Recently I created and began using SCHPUSH (Scheduled Push, instruction to bank to pay a payee) and SCHPULL (Scheduled Pull, permission to a payee to debit my bank).
Over the last 5 years or so I have experienced aggressiveness on the part of organizations like Comcast (AKA Xfinity) who increasingly try to pressure me into paying "automatically".
This may require me to break two golden rules I established shortly after I started my very first permanent job 60 years ago, namely:
- Always check my bills (before paying, of course!).
- Never agree to automatic recurring direct debits.

Now these organizations are trying to force/con me into agreeing to pay by credit card.
The problem is that there is no column in Credit Card accounts, other than Memo, which does not give the same degree of control. Memo is too general, Tags are too complicated.
The Check # field is perfect for the job, it just isn't available for Credit Card accounts,
OR can I add it somehow?

In a credit card account Check # is called Reference #.

@Harry2 Most of my scheduled bills are paid with the credit card through automatic payment so I have created a similar code for the reference column.

I also use a Flag for those monthy bills that go through the credit card but cannot be set up for automatic payment. I Flag those scheduled bills with the reference field left blank. That tells me that I need to do something to get that bill paid. Once that bill is paid, I put "CHG" or "DEBIT" in the Reference column and the remove the flag. This way I keep track of which bills I paid (and waiting to be posted) or which ones I still need to do something with.

@Harry2 Conversely, I pay as much as I can via Direct Debit. That way the bank/vendor/etc is responsible for taking the payment … which is ALWAYS 2 or 3 weeks after I've received and verified the bill.

That way, THEY are responsible for getting paid on time, and all that I'm responsible for is making sure there's sufficient money in the account … which would also be the case with any other payment method.
