Credit card payment due dates?

Is there any way that money 05 can track the due dates of my credit cards? I
have the accounts added to money and the online banking set up with automatic
updates. It downloads new transactions fine, but it doesn't seem to make any
mention of when my next payment is due. I can't set up payments because the
due date changes every month.

Also on a side issue, anyone know how to add a bank of america credit card?
Money is never able to connect when I set up the account for auto updates.

You need to put your credit cards into the Debt Reduction Planner.

I do not respond to any emails that I have not specifically asked for.

Why is that? Do you mean it varies a day or three, skipping weekends and
holidays? If that's the only variance, just pay it consistently on the same
day of the month, a day or two earlier than the earliest due date. That
will cost you cash flow only on the first month, and even then only a few
days' worth. After that, it's consistently once per month. The advantage is
you can then schedule it monthly, and the cash flow forecast looks good.

You may need to use advanced register to see the 'Change Credit Details'
button on the 'Change Account Settings' page. You can set the account limit
and interest rate there. Bob's reference to the Debt Reduction Planner is
to allow update of the due date. You don't have to leave it in the DRP,
once you've set it.
