One purchase paid with two credit/gift cards

I suggest using a split transaction in one of the accounts with an entry for the purchase and an entry that is a transfer of the balance of the purchase from the other account.

Listen to Sherlock,

Here is how I would do this

Let's say you bought a $20 shirt at WalGet, using $10 from Gift_Card and $10 from Debit_Card.

In Debit_Card register, enter a transaction for Payee WalGet with split categories for $10. The Split Categories would be Clothing for $20 and [Gift_Card] for -$10.

This will result in a transaction in Gift_Card and Debit_Card.

good luck

I am a recent convert to Quicken having used YNAB for 10-12 years and MS Money for about 10 years prior to that os I had some insight how to do this but checked the forum first.

My company awards contests and incentitives via Amazon Gift Cards and I also purchase Amazon Gift Cards to add up my points on a another card.

Rahter than create a new account for each card, I created a "Gift Cards" Credit Card account (after all, a gift card is a prepaid credit card). When I redeem a card at Amazon, I enter it as a payment in my "Gift Cards" account so I then have a credit balance.

Example of a purchase today: I ordered 2 items from Amazon, one was a Home:housewares category for 19.48 and the other was Health & Fitness:Pharmacy for 25.99, Subtotal 45.47, tax 3.41, then my current gift card balance of 12.04 was applied as a credit so Grand Total due was 36.84 which was applied to a Mastercard account. (19.48+25.99+3.41-12.04=36.84)

On the MC account I began with the total amount 45.47, then entered the two items with appropriate categories leaving a balance of 3.41. I used allocate to distribute the tax between the items, then I added another line using [Gift Cards] as -12.04 so the Transaction total was 36.84. Quicken correctly entered the 12.04 to the Gift Card account bringing it to 0.00, and applied 36.84 as the purchase amount to the MC. And I had appropriate tracking.
