checking deposit with cashback

Hi Everyone,
This may seem like a dumb question. I would like to make a deposit of say
$45 to checking and have the bank give me $5 cashback. Is there a way to
enter it into my checking register so it shows the $45 income and $5
cashback other than entering the $45 deposit and transfering $5 to the cash
account as a separate transaction?

Q2010 Premier WVista.

TIA
Tim

I think, split transaction can accomplish that for you.
It will allow you to record a deposit and transfer to cash account at
once.
Except, you'll probably want to have a 3rd line (or 2nd in order,
actually - before the transfer out) to show additional income for this
$5 cashback, otherwise you resulted total would be just $40 instead of
$45.

So your net deposit is $40? Sure... You enter the $40 as the deposit amount,
then split the transaction with $45 shown against an income category and $5
against an expense category. If it's not income (like a rebate check), you enter
negative $45 against an expense category and $5 against Petty Cash or Misc
Expense or whatever.

I just did this with a 120 deposit and 10 cashback to a "cash" account.
Elementary. I should have seen this. Thanks everyone for your help.
