Quicken can better help you meet your goals if you track your credit card payments as bill reminders. Reminders form the basis of the projected balance and spending analysis tools in Quicken. Quicken bill reminders help you plan your expenses and pay your bills on time. When you create a bill reminder, you enter the details of the bill and tell Quicken when to make the next payment, the amount due, and how often to make future payments. Do this for your income, too. Quicken will then have the information it needs to accurately project your account balances. This is one of the coolest features in Quicken!

When you add a bill reminder to Quicken to remind you when a payment is due, you can enter an estimate for the payment amount. If you decide to pay another amount when the bill comes due, or if you want to make the payment from another account, you should edit the transaction before you enter it.
