I normally share a credit card with another person, and we share the expenses. When we get a bill, we pay it with two checks. Asd an example, let's assume we jointly charged $130 one month, the totals being:
Payee Amount Applebees 30.00 Bloomingdales 100.00
We pay with a $65 check from each. I then record the credit card payments in Quicken for my check only as follows (the two lines are a split off the total payment to Visa):
Payee Category Amount Applebees Eat out 15.00 Bloomingdales Housewares 50.00
That has worked very well until I recently traveled and came back to a credit card bill that had to be paid immediately. So I paid the whole $130 (using the example above) and he wrote me a check for $65. How do I record the two transactions (my check for payment + his check for reimbursement) into Quicken, preserving the Categories correctly?
Thanks in advance. This is driving me crazy!
