I'm having an issue figuring out the right way to handle the following scenario:

I have my AmEx CC account established with bank feeds.

I have my business checking account established with bank feeds.

I have a recurring BILL (vendor is AmEx) to pay my AmEx on the 1st of each month.

When I "pay" the AmEx by recording a payment against the bill, it correctly debits my checking account as a vendor payment to AmEx.  However, it does not record the payment in my AmEx CC account.  Fast forward to my bank feeds...I have a an uncategorized transaction from AmEx for a payment and an uncategorized transaction from my checking account for a debit.  When I categorize the checking account transaction, it wants to match it to my vendor payment.  Cool!  When I go to categorize my AmEx transaction it does NOT match it....to anything.  I have to categorize it manually and the only option I can use is "Card Payment".  This forces me to choose what account I paid it through.  If I select my checking account, then I have two (2) debits in my checking for the same amount (the vendor bill and the Card payment).  This makes my AmEx account correct, but my checking is not.  Any ideas?

I've researched whether a Vendor can be associated with my AmEx account...null.  I've tried doing this as an expense and no benefit there....I really only want to be able to see upcoming bills and their due dates - hence creating the recurring Bill so I can see that it was paid.  How is anyone else doing this?  We can't setup a bill or expense that is a transfer between accounts.

Thanks
