Mike – With Accounts on you would see a dropdown menu as you expect.

Sue – You would be using a Cash Account. The credit would be a single transaction, recorded to the Grocery Envelope and the Cash Account. It would not further affect your Checking Account.

I’ve updated the blog post to be more clear about how to record cashback transactions, and what “Accounts” refers to. Thanks for your comments!

Am I using a Cash *account* or a Cash envelope? A credit BOTH to grocery AND to Cash account? From my checking? Which already has a debit for the grocery withdrawal? Not clear.

It was easy with my former money software to just allocate where the money went to which included a list of all the accounts I had.
