Bill estimator - MAC issues
Can't estimate credit card or utility bills! Long time Quicken user and converted to MAC a year ago. I am struggling to understand how to estimate bills like I could on the PC version. This is a HUGE PROBLEM. I've called customer service and have been told for a year that this is just not available in the MAC version. It throws off my cash flow planning for both utility bills and mostly credit card payments. If I pay my CC off each month, the amount due should adjust as I make more transactions thus adjusting my cash flow. I am struggling to understand how this is still not in the MAC version as I see it as core functionally. Does any else agree? How do we get this on development's radar? Why would this not be already done? Sorry, I'll get off my soap box, just really challenged with this.

(1) The bill estimation feature I reference above (for both credit cards based on balance -- ideally, at a specific close date -- and, for utilities based on average of last n bills).
(2) Download matching and/or renaming doesn't seem to work very reliably. Sometimes it matches against really old (and even reconciled) transactions, sometimes it doesn't match at all. It needs to support greater variability in the amounts, but less variability in the dates -- and it should only match against scheduled transactions.
(3) Downloaded transaction renaming needs to make use of memo fields to determine the payee... I have several transactions to the same actual payee with unique account numbers that appear in the memo which I want to specify with unique payee names, and it never works.
I'm confident they'll address these soon!
