There is more than one good way to download your credit card
data and have also the payment downloaded from a checking account.
Here are two ways I like:

1. When you process the first transaction of the credit card
payment, set the category as a transfer to the other ( credit card
or bank account), or use the equivalent "SPECIAL Credit Card
Payment" category. When you process the second transaction,Money
should match it. Be careful to not just Accept if Money did not
find the match on its own for some reason. Click Change and match
it to the transfer you already made if Money did not match it for
you. I would consider this the classic of the ways I like. Note
that for this you would *not* use the Money "EXPENSE Credit Card
Payment". I would Delete that category.

2. In method 2, don't handle credit card payments as transfers or
the pre-defined "Credit Card Payment Instead create one category of
"CC payment" or some such. If you define the category as an
expense category, expect a warning when you use it to represent the
payment within the credit card account -- if you have the warning
enabled. Just click Yes in response to the warning. The category
should net at zero in reports across accounts, and you can still
customize to ignore the category if you like. For this method you
could use the Money "EXPENSE Credit Card Payment".

Sentosa,
Did you resolve this somehow? I believe I am having the same problem.
Basically I have a credit card payment/charge in my bank account and a
payment received/credt in my credit card account (exactly the same) and I
would simply like to match these without creating dupe transactions.

Thanks,
Dan

One way to get the transactions to show with transfer is to use the Bill
area and have it entered automatically from that area and have transfer as
the category. When the download comes, it will match.

Only solution is to manaully match the two duplicate transactions.

1. I use money to automatically update my bank accounts using the sign-in
information I registered with Money.

2. When there is a Transfer between accounts, the downloaded transactionwill
not set the category to "Transfer to/from Account" in all cases. When you
set it manually, a duplicate transaction will then appear in the other
account.

What shld I do to avoid this?
