Here's the trail for recording and paying an American Express (AE) card account. AE is charged when card is used. AE ultimately presents me with a statement each month. Authorization has just been given to permit AE to debit a special checking account (Ckg) set up exclusively for handling such cards. After I reconcile the AE account, I reach a screen that gives me three options; write a check, print a check, or pay on-line.
Fearing "pay on line" may result in a duplicate too easily, and printing a check is nearth set up nor appropriate for this, I chose handwrite the check. I simply plan not to assign a check number and merely clear the transaction when I receive notice the account has been charged by AE.
Make sense? Is there a better way?
