Hi there, @accounting266.
It's my pleasure to help you with recording points acquired to the members who are paid in Cash, Visa-Master Cards.
I can think of two options for this. First, you can get a check which you can deposit and use an income account as the source account.
To create an income account:
- Go to the Lists menu, then click on Chart of Accounts.
- From the Account drop-down, click on New.
- Choose income as a category, then tap on Continue.
- Enter the account's name (Income Account Rewards or Points), then click on Save and Close.
Once done, record a deposit for the points earned.
- Go to the Banking page, then click on Make Deposits.
- Fill in the information from the Make Deposits window.
- Deposit to Account.
- Date
- Receive From
- From Account (which is the income account you've created)
- Amount
- Save the transactions.
The second option is to track the points once you use them. They are income to business either applied as a credit card credit reducing the balance.
Whatever action you take, I recommend consulting with a professional accountant for further assistance. They are the ones who can guide you in keeping your financial records accurate and accounting for your transactions accordingly.
