[GNC] reconciling specific credit cards in an account

[scum buster]

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

No, I don't use debit cards.

The issue is that one bank services a few of my credit cards.   And the
downloads show them all the same ---  "bankname online payment" with no
differentiation of what specific credit card account that line item is for.

Gnucash doesn't show any other info than that upon reconciling, probably
because the bank doesn't provide it.

My only other solution would be to have only one credit card per bank
name...then it's a no brainer which credit card account goes with what.

But that's not practical for me.

Sounds like you are confusing your bank account debit card with a credit
card.  They may look the same, but the debit card will directly draw funds
from the checking account.  If you are having to enter a PIN number when you
use that card, it's almost certainly a debit card.

I have been using Gnucash for years......currently version 3.7.  I very much
appreciate the program.....I used quicken for years til I started using
Gnucash.

Have never used this forum before, so I hope I don't screw this up. LOL

I am not a Gnucash expert....I know I do some things wrong but I get by....

One thing I always seem to have issues with (I am sure it is user
error).....is with my checking account and credit card charges that come
through that account

I download my checking account data as a quicken file and "import" that.

I have a few credit cards with one company.  The charges come through as "
bankname online payment" when they hit my checking account.

That would be fine if I had only one credit card with that bank.

But with a few different cards, I have issues trying to get them to
auto-reconcile correctly and end up having to manually add the items and
manually pick the right account......and that ends up making duplicate
charges somehow.

What is the right way to set things up so that Gnucash knows what credit
card account is being referenced when the charges hit my checking account?

Thanks for your help!
