How should I handle a credit card cash rebate? I did a vendor credit however, during reconcile it shows up in the charge column not in the payment column. Help please.

Hope you're doing well today, FireMedic! I'm here to help you record your credit card cash rebate properly in QuickBooks.

 

Let's utilize the Credit card credit feature instead of creating a vendor credit. This records the amount as a payment in the register. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to the +New button.
  2. Click Credit card credit under the Vendors column.
  3. Click the Bank/Credit account drop-down arrow and choose the appropriate one.
  4. Under the Category details, select an account where you want to track your cash rebate. You can choose an expense account or an income account.
  5. Enter the amount and all necessary information.
  6. Click Save and close.
     

If you don't have an account yet to track your cashback, feel free to create a new one. Here's how:
 

  1. Go to the Accounting menu.
  2. Within the Chart of accounts, click the New button. 
  3. Select details for this account. 

 

Once done, let's open the bank/credit account we used to track the amount. We'll see it under the Payment column. Here's a sample screenshot:
