How to live with duplicate entries?

I have a business visa account that has separate cards and each has its own
account number. These are reported on the statement separately under one
main account. I can track activity for each card and pay one bill for all
the cards on one statement.

The problem came up when I activated the direct connect for the account. I
had to set up five accounts - one master and 4 individual accounts. I tried
to name one quicken account for all the individual accounts and QD07 said I
could not do that. It wanted individual accounts.

When I download activity, I get one charge to the individual account and the
same one to the master account.

Reporting is not a problem - I just filter out the duplicate account.

The problem is reviewing the downloaded transactions twice for proper
category and memos, which I use.

This is a new card, and my first payment is not due. I can also see a
problem of paying the balance and having balances due on the duplicate
accounts.

I was thinking of deleting the master account and just living with the
individual accounts, but I like seeing everything in one as well as the
individual accounts.

Any suggestions on working with a master account with individual sub
accounts?

TIA,
