Trying to create a 24-weekly Scheduled Transaction

[Michael Hendry]

I subscribe to a magazine which is published thirteen times a year, but whose subscription is paid by direct debit every six issues (i.e. every 24 weeks).

When I try to set up this transaction, with a frequency of Weekly, every 24 weeks starting on 6th June 2013 and lasting forever, I'm told "You have attempted to set up a Scheduled Transaction which will never run. Do you really want to do this?".

I've worked around this by selecting "Monday" as the day of the week for the transaction, but this means that the date will be wrong for six transactions in every seven.

I did try selecting all seven days, but it looks as though this will set up a run of seven consecutive daily transactions every 24 weeks.

I can tolerate having a relatively small transaction appearing up to six days late, using the work-around above, but I don't think I should be forced to do so - am I missing something here?
