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, you will have an uncategorized transaction in both accounts, inflow to the credit card and outflow from the checking.
