Interesting little thread...
As Maf (below) does,, I regularly use a blank transaction when I want to
insert a visual separator between one set of transactions and the
following ones. Sometimes I will fill the description field with dashes,
to even more highlight the separator.
Another way I use an (almost) blank transaction is when I usually make a
regular purchase each month, but then in one month don't. So, just to
remind me (months or years) later why I didn't purchase that month, I
make a note in the description field such as "didn't buy this month,
because of ..."
To each her own, I suppose...

Yes.
Some sort of memo or reminder that is not a real transaction in that there is
no actual transfer of money etc.
I put a **CLOSED** in things like old credit card accounts once the
institution actually kills the account. (which is on a different date than my
final payment)
I'm sure others have their own ideas!
