For completeness I should have mentioned that for accounts which have
sub-accounts like those that envelope budgeters will probably have, the
user should view the account in a 'with sub-accounts view' to see
everything that is happening in the 'with sub-acconts' reconciliation
window.

Hi David (Carlson),
Not sure what you mean by “automatic marking that happens when the
reconciliation process is initiated”?
Perhaps you mean the marking of transactions as cleared when they are imported?

In recent days, I've been tinkering around (again) with GnuCash's budget

It's all a matter of perspective. If I want 100 widgets at $10, but know I get
2% back on my credit card, I might look at that as a $980 item. The fact that I
pay $1,000 now and get refunded $20 later is a cash flow issue.
Not that I actually
It would depend on how your jurisdiction treats these rebates for tax purposes.
If they are not taxable, you can treat them whichever way you like. I treat
them as a negative expense, but if they are taxable you would need to record
them in an income account.
Thank You,

FWIW, when I receive a bill to be paid at some future date, I put the amount in

payment for that future date, both at my bank and in the scheduled payments

Because it is not considered taxable income in my jurisdiction, and
because I only use the credit card due to the fact that I will get
rewards (otherwise I would be a check or cash guy), I record it as a
negative miscellaneous expense. Outside of jurisdictions where this

In the search box (the icon that looks like magnifying glass in the task

One further thought: treating rewards as a negative expense will mask the true
cost of whatever was purchased. If you stop using your rewards card, suddenly
your apparent expenses will go up.

You COULD allocate it against the credit card expenditure, as negative

I have a credit card which, like a few others, accrues a small
percentage (1-2%) of the amounts spent as a rebate. The rebate isn't
subtracted from each charge, but accumulates in the card account as
"Reward Points" until I cash them in. The amount is then credited to
the card account as a pa
Chris, Lisa,
Yes, I agree with David here. It is absolutely quite common (and for

budget items.

Chris,
I believe she's implementing envelope budgeting
(https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-envelope-budgeting-1293682) using sub

on the lists over the years.
