There has been a lot of discussion on this workflow. Here are a couple of links to those threads.

Checking and Credit Card Categories (Transfer vs Expense)

Hello, I am certain this was asked before, I wanted to use best practices and like to confirm the best approach from the Tiller experts. I pay my credit card from my checking account and then it’s posted on the credit card account. In my categories for credit card payment as transfer, but not sure what category should be for checking. Make it more complicated, I pay my mobile phone via credit card and have that as expense. Input is welcomed and appreciated.

Categorizing interest charges on credit cards, any ideas?

I finally have developed my own personal list of categories and subsequent groups with those categories. So i have gone through all my transaction and have categorize them accordingly, including purchases made with credit cards have been. I’m stuck in deterring how to properly categorize/group “interest charges on purchases” and how to designate it (income/expense/transfer). Any ideas?
