Amazon.com can appear a few dozen times on a credit card statement, making it very difficult to properly categorize the transaction in YNAB Classic.
This script is a quick and dirty way to help with that, but you need to jump through a few hoops.
- Use the amazon store card. This will show the purchased items right on the statement.
- Connect the Synchrony Bank account to mint.com. The reason you need to do that is because the bank doesn't allow the download of up-to-date transactions.
- Download the transaction from mint, and run them through this script.
- The new file will be property formatted to go into YNAB, making categorization easier.
