Transfer Account a credit card not showing up in Payee List...
Hi,
I'm new to YNAB and I just received my first credit card payment. As I try and assign the payee, I see a list of Transfer/Payment accounts for all my accounts/credit cards... Except this one.
However, if I go to Payee Settings, it is showing in the list. But, then I go back to the transaction (imported online) and try and select it as a payee and it isn't in the drop down!
Am I doing something wrong, or can someone help me resolve this? This is happening both in the mobile app (android) and on the web.

Are you trying to post the payment *while in* the credit card ledger? Because then you would enter it as Transfer FROM whatever checking account you used.
The Payee list will show a transfer option for every account except whichever one you're actively in, because obviously you're not making a transfer from an account to that same account.

Yes, I am... I see. So, though this should be categorized as a transfer from Checking and then when the payment hits my checking account, that transaction would reconcile. Is that correct?

Yes, you will have an uncategorized transaction in both accounts, inflow to the credit card and outflow from the checking.
Here is the YNAB article on credit card payments
