SUMMARY

When you create a transaction using the new category, Credit Card Payment; Money launches the Credit Card Payment Wizard. You can also create and use a subcategory called Credit Card Payment to launch the wizard. Answering each of the questions in the wizard helps you manage your payments.

If you remove this standard category from the list, or if you upgraded to Money 5.0 from an earlier version of Money or Quicken, your file will not contain the Credit Card Payment category. This article discusses how to add this category or subcategory to your file.
