Tricount balances change after each reimbursement

Personal Finance & Money Asked on August 31, 2020

My friends and I are using Tricount to keep track of shared expenses during our trips. It is an excellent app but it seems to have an absolutely infuriating problem: whenever someone makes a reimbursement and marks it as such in the Balances sheet, balances change completely.

For instance, let’s say that at the end of the trip, I owe $50 to Alice: after I reimbursed her and marked the $50 as paid, the Balances sheet changes completely, and I now owe again $20 to Alice!

We’ve been plagued with this problem for some time now. It makes using Tricount for reimbursement a chore, and we basically cannot trust it anymore.

Are we missing something?

One Answer

The problem was due to the fact that (1) Tricount doesn't automatically pull new expenses, and (2) someone made a reimbursement based on out-of-date expenses.

I have reached out to the Tricount support to report this error-prone behavior: Tricount shouldn't let people do reimbursement based on out-of-date expenses.
