Using Quicken to track your air miles

Getting your head around your own personal or small business accounting is a lot less fun than jetting off on a tropical island holiday. But without figuring the finances the chances are you won’t be able to afford the trip in the first place.

Not unless you fly frequently for business or other trips. Raking up air miles is one simple way to gather enough points for a free vacation flight, but keeping track of them is another story. Airlines deduct, short-change, refund, boost and cancel expiring points, all making it a nightmare to track.

Now you can keep tabs on your free travel plans with a handy hack that lets you track your air miles in quicken, simply by creating an account that is not included in the overall reporting and balance sheet. The currency is substituted for points, and you have all sorts of options to add and subtract miles, each time you fly.
