I am seeking guidance on methods to track items such as gift cards, gift certificates, merchant cards, bank reward cards, and store-credit cards for returned purchases.
On the one hand, these items are a form of income. As such, I could track them as income. On the other hand, I use these items they way I use a credit card to make purchases. As such, I could track them as a credit card. Are there other hands with other methods? I am looking for a simple, consistent method for all of these items so that I can easily track when I received the item and its initial value, and track the expenditures. I want to keep all of these items in the same part of my account tree. Rigorous, double-entry accounting is not essential. Imbalance on one side of a transaction is OK. What are the pros and cons of the various methods to track these items? ____________________________________________________________ Actress Tells All: "I Felt Bloated, Tired...Now I Know Why" ActivatedYou http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/597f9255edc1c12556933st01vuc _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
